The AI for Good Summit — organised by the UN’s International Telecommunication Union — runs July 7–10 in Geneva, Switzerland. It is the world’s largest UN-system AI event, bringing together governments, civil society, academia and industry to address AI’s impact on the sustainable development goals. This year’s summit arrives at the most consequential moment in AI history — six weeks after Google I/O, six weeks before the EU AI Act’s August 2 enforcement date, and in the middle of a $725 billion GAFAM infrastructure spending cycle that is reshaping the global economy. gafam.ai will be covering the summit live — from Geneva, from a European perspective.

The EU AI Omnibus deal of May 7 delayed high-risk AI compliance to December 2027. But Brussels has not slowed down. On May 8, the Commission opened consultation on AI transparency obligations. On May 19, it sought feedback on high-risk AI classification guidelines. Italy has already passed its own national AI law. Ireland has established a national AI office. The EU AI Act is not waiting for 2027 — it is being built right now, one guideline at a time. gafam.ai explains what changed, what is coming, and what every GAFAM company operating in Europe must do today.

After nine hours of negotiations, the EU reached a provisional deal on May 7, 2026: high-risk AI rules delayed to December 2027, but a complete ban on AI nudification apps effective December 2026. Brussels blinked on the timeline — but held firm on human dignity. Every GAFAM company operating in Europe is affected. gafam.ai explains what changed, what it means, and what comes next.

On August 2, 2026, the EU AI Act becomes real — with fines of up to €35 million for non-compliance. Every GAFAM company operating in Europe is in scope, regardless of where their servers are located. Washington is deregulating AI. Brussels is tightening control. These two visions are on a collision course. gafam.ai will be watching.
