About the Summit

A convening built to produce more than conversation.

The AI Trust Summit is DTC's flagship convening: a deliberately small, curated gathering designed to move past talk and toward commitments.

Attendees include researchers at the frontier of AI safety and alignment, policymakers shaping national and international frameworks, technologists building the systems we're trying to govern, and civic leaders representing the communities most affected by AI's deployment.

The summit produces published outputs: working papers, open commitments, and actionable recommendations that feed directly into DTC's certification methodology.
