Geneva Cyber Week 2025: Advancing Multilateral Action on AI-Driven Cyber Risks

From Summits to Solutions: Advancing Multilateral Action on AI-Driven Cyber Risks

On 13 May 2025 (12:15 – 13:45, local time), as part of the Geneva Cyber Week 2025, the Paris Peace Forum will host a luncheon roundtable to advance multilateral cooperation on AI-driven cyber and informational risks. Building on the outcomes of the AI Action Summit in Paris, the event will explore how to translate global recommendations into UN initiatives and engage non-governmental actors in shaping responsible AI governance.

The AI Action Summit, held on 10-11 February 2025 in Paris, brought together high-level representatives from a broad ecosystem in a context marked by intensifying economic and geopolitical competition over AI. On this occasion, leaders from governments, international organizations, the private sector, research communities, and civil society addressed in particular cyber and informational risks associated with the widespread adoption of AI and its potential use for harmful purposes. The Summit highlighted several international efforts aimed at
building a shared understanding of the threat landscape, as well as defining pathways for coordinated responses towards a trustworthy, safe, and secure AI.

The Paris Peace Forum took an active role in this endeavor by releasing the inaugural report of the Paris Call’s Strategic Foresight Hub “Forging Global Cooperation on AI Risks”. Developed over several months by 20 experts and practitioners spanning academia, industry, policy, and technical circles, the report aims to provide practical recommendations for policymakers to effectively tackle the adversarial use of AI in the cyber realm through increased transparency and streamlined international governance.

As the next AI Summit is set to take place in India in 2026, this luncheon roundtable aims to reflect on how to translate the Paris summit’s outcomes on AI-driven cyber and informational risks into relevant United Nations’ tech initiatives. Participants will also explore optimal ways to engage non-governmental actors — including industry and civil society — in multilateral efforts, ensuring these dialogues are informed by insights from real-world cases of AI misuse.
