ELISA
Background
Artificial intelligence no longer fits neatly within disciplinary or sectoral boundaries. It is reshaping how societies organise, how power is exercised, how knowledge is produced and validated, how economies evolve, and how governance is designed.
EVERYTHING AI is a two-day international event convening policymakers, international organisations, researchers, and practitioners to examine AI as a system-wide phenomenon. Moving beyond framings of AI as merely a technical challenge or a regulatory puzzle, the event adopts a rigorously multidisciplinary approach grounded in reality: contemporary AI intersects law, ethics, democracy, economics, science, global governance, and human rights.
Hosted at the UN House, Brussels, Belgium (Bd du Régent 37/40, 1000 Bruxelles), EVERYTHING AI creates space for cross-sector dialogue on how AI is reshaping governance and what we should do about it.
Participation is available both in person and online. Throughout the two days, meals will be provided for in-person participants, including two coffee breaks (morning and afternoon) and lunch. Registration is required, and due to limited capacity, early registration is strongly encouraged.
Event Objectives
What makes EVERYTHING AI different is the mix of people in the room. The programme brings together institutional, technical, legal, and standards expertise, including contributions from EU policy and governance discussions, democratic resilience practice, and AI policy research communities, alongside industry leaders in robustness testing, assurance, and ethics-to-standards translation. Across sessions, participants move from agentic AI risks in the wild (including a Moltbook case discussion) to judicial systems, red-teaming and adversarial risk, digital twins for policymaking (DestinE), AI post-growth debates, and operational governance and controls in high-stakes institutional environments. The result is a two-day conversation that stays multidisciplinary without drifting into abstraction, and ambitious without losing sight of what institutions can actually implement.
The event aims to:
- Bring together policy, technical, legal, and standards expertise to confront the hard questions of AI governance and oversight.
- Bridge regulatory ambition with operational reality: what can be implemented, tested, monitored, and accountable in practice.
- Equip participants with actionable insights on robustness and assurance, democratic resilience, judicial risk, adversarial threat modelling, digital twins for policymaking, sustainability, inequality, and institutional AI controls.
- Advance cooperation and shared understanding across jurisdictions and professional communities.
Content and Structure
Through high-level panels, expert-led thematic sessions, and case-focused discussions intersecting different sectors, participants will engage with key themes including:
- Digital twins and AI-driven policymaking (DestinE)
- Agentic AI in uncontrolled environments (Moltbook case discussion)
- EU AI Act implementation: oversight, standards, and operationalisation
- Cybersecurity, red-teaming, and adversarial risk
- Privacy, and AI in sensitive domains
- Courts and judicial risk in the age of generative AI
- Democracy, elections, misinformation, and public trust
- Accountability frameworks and institutional controls
- Knowledge, expertise, and epistemic authority
- AI, post-growth, and sustainability
- AI, inequality, and structural power
Methodology
The programme is designed to connect perspectives that rarely sit together in one room, using a format that prioritises exchange over speeches: keynotes set shared frames, panels surface points of tension and convergence, and workshops translate discussion into practical approaches. Participants should expect structured Q&A throughout and a focus on clear, implementable takeaways.
Targeted Audience
Bringing together approximately one hundred international policymakers, researchers, and practitioners, including representatives from international organisations, academia, public institutions, civil society, and technical communities.
We welcome:
- Policymakers, regulators, and public authorities at national, regional, and international levels;
- Representatives of United Nations agencies and international organisations;
- Academic researchers and scientific experts;
- Civil society leaders, ethics practitioners, and human rights-focused stakeholders;
- Technology governance specialists, standards and assurance professionals, and digital policy advisors;
- Institutional leaders and senior decision-makers responsible for AI strategy, risk management, and accountability.
