The AI Policy Summit advances to its sixth edition in 2025!
The AI Policy Summit brings together a growing global expert community to foster cross-sectorial and cross-regional collaboration in AI policy, and is recognized as a leading AI policy event in Europe.
Set up in 2019, by RegHorizon and ETH Zurich’s Center for Law and Economics, the Summit leverages Switzerland’s unique positioning as a global hub for innovation, its unmatched reputation as a neutral and pragmatic country, hosting top-tier academic institutions, international organizations and businesses.
We are proud to be one of the flagship events of the newly launched Zurich AI Festival 2025 - a celebration of innovation, technology, and the future of AI, under the partnership of Canton of Zurich and organised by Greater Zurich Area and ETH AI Centre.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS
The Center for Law & Economics at ETH Zurich is a leading interdisciplinary research center in the areas of law and AI, economic analysis of law and algorithms, intellectual property, algorithmic fairness, and contract design. Our three professorships, AI Policy Director, numerous postdocs, Ph.D. students, and scientific assistants apply tools from legal analysis, statistics, experimental methods, machine learning, and natural language processing to better understand these areas. Besides international conferences like the AI Policy Summit, the Center hosts international seminars, workshop series, and collaborations with peer institutions across the globe.
RegHorizon is a Swiss-based AI governance think tank at the forefront of inclusive, integrated, and strategic AI leadership.
We bridge the gap between innovation and regulation, ethics and implementation, developed and developing economies.
Through high-level advisory, capacity-building, and real-time strategic insights, we empower organizations and policymakers to shape the AI future ethically, profitably, and for all.
