The Global Summit on Artificial Intelligence, Emerging Tech Law & Governance 2025 (GSAIET 2025) served as a historic international legal and policy conclave, held on 24 July 2025 in New Delhi, India. Organised by the Global AI Law and Governance Institute (GALGI), the Artificial Intelligence Law Hub, and Pavan Duggal Associates, Advocates, in academic collaboration with Cyberlaw University, the Summit embodied a proactive jurisprudential response to the rapidly intensifying global exigencies surrounding disruptive technologies.
The Summit assumed seminal importance against the backdrop of unprecedented technological acceleration—particularly the rise of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, blockchain architectures, autonomous systems, generative AI, and decentralized digital platforms. These technological advancements, while offering transformational societal and economic benefits, also raised profound legal, ethical, and regulatory complexities. Existing legislative and governance frameworks remained inadequate to address the multidimensional ramifications of these technologies, particularly in areas such as data privacy, algorithmic accountability, AI explainability, digital sovereignty, cybersecurity, and techno-legal liability.
GSAIET 2025 was conceived as a multidisciplinary, high-level, and outcome-oriented platform that brought together jurists, policymakers, regulators, corporate leaders, AI scientists, digital rights advocates, and civil society stakeholders from across jurisdictions.
A unique hallmark of GSAIET 2025 was its commitment to producing tangible and enduring outputs. These included:
- The drafting and adoption of an international consensus document articulating key legal, ethical, and governance principles for emerging technologies;
- Publication of an ISBN-registered, peer-reviewed volume capturing insights from the proceedings; and
- Launch of a dedicated institutional partnership platform to facilitate continued cross-border cooperation, research, and capacity building in AI law and policy.
In culmination, the Summit sought to bridge the gaps between law, technology, ethics, and policy by developing agile legal frameworks to ensure that technological advancements remained aligned with human dignity, fundamental rights, constitutional values, and sustainable development imperatives. It reinforced the legal community’s critical role in shaping a future-ready jurisprudential ecosystem that is anticipatory rather than reactive—safeguarding societal interests amidst an accelerating digital paradigm.
