Paris Peace Forum Call for AI Projects 2024

Could AI be at the heart of solutions to our global challenges? As part of the AI Action Summit, taking place on 10-11 February 2025 in Paris, the Paris Peace Forum is launching an ambitious Call for Projects focused on artificial intelligence.

The AI revolution is bringing about major changes in our lives, our jobs and our societies, and these can divide us in new, unprecedented ways. To ensure that these technologies benefit everyone, the Call for AI Projects aims to support global initiatives that improve the lives of citizens and ethically frame AI. Selected projects will be presented at the AI Action Summit, providing an international platform for sharing inclusive solutions, with a particular focus on engaging civil society and the global South.

This new Call is part of the Paris Peace Forum‘s ongoing work on innovative global governance solutions (over 500 projects selected and presented since 2018).
