1. Displaying use cases, good practices and scientific contributions from as many countries and languages as possible - as opposed to having the usual largest key players setting the tone. Sharing such information would have a positive impact after the Global dialogue as well. 2. Make concrete suggestions to include everyone's perspective and interests in future AI endeavours across the world - not only country leaders and big companies, but also citizens, as private individuals, workers and voters impacted by AI deployment in many ways.

Social, economic, ethical, cultural, linguistic and technical implications of AI;Safe, secure and trustworthy AI;Protection and promotion of human rights;AI capacity-building;

Seizing the magnificent opportunities of AI should be accessible to everyone, regardless of education and financial resources. Positive effects of AI deployment for the whole of the population should be a priority, even if it takes more time. This also includes risk prevention, ranging from guarantees of protection for human rights and to cybersecurity measures.

Citizens' participation: as users, voters, workers, etc.. Youth protection (e.g. from harmful consequences of social media algorithms or side effects of "AI companions")

In Switzerland as well, inequalities may rise due to uneven access to AI tools and education resources. There are many understandable doubts and worries in the population that should be respected and taken seriously, e.g. regarding discriminations due to AI, pressures due to AI deployment at work or changes on the job market, but also the rights to privacy and an offline life.

Bottom-up approaches to open the space of discussion Academia: include all disciplines, not only technical experts Citizens: Organise consultations and ask questions to people who are not directly in an AI bubble Civil society should be able to speak freely

Citizens or laypersons who are not highly visible in the media, politics or social media - 'the "(wo)man on the street" Smaller companies who can use AI are not AI companies (SMEs) Youth
