Leading the global conversation on AI.

AI is the defining technology of our time, and no single company, lab or government can steer it alone. AI House brings research, industry, policy and civil society to a neutral table to take on the most pressing questions in AI, and to act on them.

Founded 2023 by ETH AI Center and Merantix, led by the Davos-rooted AI House Association

A place for the conversations that move AI forward.

AI House exists to make the choices shaping AI more responsible, inclusive and practical.

  • A full, bright room seen from the back, the audience facing a panel on a red stage, one guest photographing it

    Neutral ground

    As an independent platform, no single agenda sets the terms. Research, industry, policy and civil society have an equal voice, so discussions stay balanced and evidence-based.

    In practice: a community of 700+ organisations across research, industry, policy and civil society.

  • A breakfast roundtable in a bright room, plates, cups and laptops on the table

    Actionable exchange

    Practical outcomes over abstract debate. Our dialogues map complex trade-offs and build the cross-sector relationships that guide responsible AI development year-round.

    In practice: our dialogues have led to the launch of ICAIN, research partnerships and science-backed studies.

  • Yann LeCun, in black glasses, answers a question into a microphone with one hand raised, his fellow panellist in the foreground

    Real-world alignment

    We bridge research, policy and industry, translating conversations into secure, sustainable solutions that align AI innovation with societal needs.

    In practice: scientific leadership from ETH AI Center, EPFL AI Center and the University of Tokyo.

Built to outlast any single agenda.

Three years in, AI House is carried by people who believe the future of AI must be shaped collectively. Our strategy board sets the themes each year, our partners make this independent work possible, and our team turns it into dialogue.
