Objectives of GLOTADALS

General Objective

The Global Summit & Training Program on Artificial Intelligence, Digital Technology, Advanced Science and Law for Sustainable Development (GLOTADALS) 2026 is a transformative 6-day program that explores the integration of artificial intelligence, digital technology and advanced science into legal frameworks, and addresses global challenges posed by artificial intelligence and digital technology, as well as enhancing the use of AI, digital technology and multidisciplinary science techniques of discovery and innovations in different sectors. The program will be hosted in Charlotte (Concord), North Carolina., United States of America, from July 20 – 25, 2026. The Summit brings together the world’s most influential leaders to tackle the toughest AI questions, confront known, observable and unforeseen challenges, and bring clarity to an AI governance toward sustainable development. It aims to showcase the potential benefits of AI, digital technology and advanced science, while critically analysing their risks. It seeks to promote innovation-driven, flexible and forward-looking scientific, technological, legal and policy approaches that bridge existing gaps and explore emerging trends in artificial intelligence, electronic and digital technology, multidisciplinary scientific techniques of discovery and innovation, and their nexus with law for sustainable development. Furthermore, the program aims to address pressing issues across the various sectors integrated with AI, offering innovative solutions to the prevailing stressors. It aims to strengthen international cooperation and knowledge exchange that reinforces AI advancement initiatives of the leading AI environment, such as the United States and other UN member states, while encouraging inclusive global participation. Ultimately, the program will develop a proposed Global Compact Framework on AI and Digital Technology (DT) toward Sustainable Development, recommending it to the UN and its member states.

⬢ Foreign applicants are advised to take advantage of early registration to receive visa application support documents (such as an invitation letter) for timely visa issuance.
⬢ NOTE: The Program Committee is not responsible for issuing visas. However, the Committee will engage the U.S. Department of State regarding the significance of visa processing. Supporting documents may include a priority letter upon request of the registrant. A comprehensive list of confirmed registrants in each country may be transmitted to the U.S. Department of State for visa processing purposes.
⬢ Payment for the Summit and Training Program is generally non-refundable except for international registrants outside the United States who require a visa to attend the program.
⬢ International participants who wish to cancel their registration must do so at least seventy (70) days before the program start date to be eligible for a refund. International participants are therefore advised to register early to avoid future complications.
