What you'll learn

Countries want AI sovereignty but not AI isolation; strategic autonomy and global cooperation require balance.
Digital inclusion can come as much from market competition as from central regulation, as the American experience shows.
More than half of internet traffic is now automated, turning identity and consent for agents into an open standards challenge.
Only sixteen countries have large-scale computing infrastructures, while nearly two billion people remain offline.
Agentic AI calls for safeguards that hold when AI takes over human decision making, not merely for technical accuracy.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there concern about the concentration of AI infrastructure?

The concern is about the uneven distribution of computing power and data centres. According to the ITU only sixteen countries have large-scale computing infrastructures and nearly two billion people remain offline, so many countries miss out on AI opportunities.

What does agentic AI mean for the trust question?

Agentic AI systems do not just answer but act, reconciling invoices, booking travel and replying to emails without checking back at every step. This shifts the question from model accuracy to the identity, authorisation, consent and traceability of acting systems.

What role does Cloudflare play in the agentic AI debate?

Cloudflare points to the scale of the shift, with more than 50 percent of internet traffic now automated. The company works on building blocks for a long-term agentic internet, including agent authentication, delegation of authority and protocols for payments between agents.

How does the European supervisor view the arrival of autonomous AI?

The EDPS argues that growing system autonomy pressures constitutional safeguards. It calls for 'constitutional functional equivalence': AI that takes over or supports human decision making must still respect the constitutional guarantees.

Moderated by Bilel Jamoussi of ITU, with opening remarks from Seizo Onoe, the discussion examines identity, security, policy and investment choices shaping the future of AI. Recorded live at the AI for Good Global Summit 2026 at Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland. _____________________________________________________________________ AI for Good is identifying innovative AI applications, building skills and standards, and advancing partnerships to solve global challenges.
