When the White House released the American AI Action Plan in 2025, its third pillar made one thing clear: artificial intelligence isn’t just a domestic priority, it’s a global one. The United States must lead in international AI diplomacy and security to set standards, protect its interests, and ensure that AI technologies are developed and deployed in ways that reflect democratic values.
That mission calls for coordination across all levels of government, and that’s exactly what GovAI Summit, taking place October 27–29th in Arlington, Virginia, is built to deliver. We have detailed how GovAI Summit supports the first and second pillars of the American AI Action Plan too.
As AI technologies spread across borders, the need for AI in government to be globally competitive and aligned with national AI strategies is critical. International agreements, AI policy 2025 frameworks, and cross-border regulations will define how AI shapes the future of commerce, defense, and public services.
GovAI brings together experts in AI regulation and government compliance, AI governance frameworks, and AI and data privacy laws to help agencies understand how domestic infrastructure, machine learning in government, and AI for public services intersect with global rules and expectations.
Global leadership requires trust from citizens at home and partners abroad. At GovAI, sessions on responsible AI for government and ethical AI in government operations help agencies integrate AI ethics and accountability into every layer of policy and practice.
By putting AI and public trust at the forefront, the Summit ensures that U.S. government initiatives meet the high ethical standards that international partners expect, making cooperation smoother and more productive.
AI diplomacy is about protecting systems from adversarial threats. GovAI connects agency leaders with cybersecurity experts, technologists, and policy makers to discuss building secure, resilient AI systems that comply with AI regulation and government compliance measures while defending critical infrastructure.
This work extends to smart cities and AI innovation projects, ensuring that public sector digital transformation with AI happens in ways that protect sensitive data and maintain operational integrity.
Leadership on the world stage starts with leadership at home. GovAI’s AI workshops for government leaders, artificial intelligence training for government programs, and government AI executive training sessions give agency heads the knowledge to engage in high-stakes policy negotiations with confidence.
Whether it’s AI for policy makers navigating trade agreements or agency officials contributing to digital transformation in government, the skills developed at GovAI prepare attendees to be influential voices in global AI governance.
The third pillar of the American AI Action Plan calls for the United States to lead—not follow—on the world stage when it comes to AI diplomacy and security. That leadership depends on a deep understanding of both the technology and the policies shaping its future.
GovAI Summit is the premier event where government leaders gain that understanding, form the right partnerships, and walk away with strategies to make an impact at home and abroad.
If you want to ensure your agency is part of the global conversation—and the global solution—this is the place to start.
