AI for Good Global Summit: Building Trust and Putting People at the Heart of Innovation

Global leaders, scientists, entrepreneurs and policymakers gathered in Geneva at the United Nations’ AI for Good Global Summit to discuss one of the defining opportunities of our time: how artificial intelligence can improve society while remaining safe, trusted and accessible to all.

The discussions highlighted the extraordinary potential of AI to drive innovation and create lasting value for society, while also reinforcing the growing responsibilities facing leaders as the technology continues to evolve.

As International Telecommunication Union Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin emphasised, “The future of AI depends on trust.”

For André, as set out in his book Leadership with Soul, realising the full potential of AI requires leaders to embrace innovation with curiosity and speed, while demonstrating emotional intelligence, building trust through robust standards, and putting people at the heart of their growth strategies.

Ultimately, the future of AI will not be determined by technological progress alone, but by the quality of leadership guiding its adoption.

By combining technological innovation with human judgement and experience, leaders have an extraordinary opportunity to drive sustainable growth, create lasting value for society, and ensure AI truly becomes a force for good.
