How can universities uphold trust and truth in an AI-driven world? This was the central question of the latest Glion Conversations on 27 November 2026, a global forum bringing together leaders from top universities, tech innovators, and digital rights advocates. The discussion explored the growing influence of artificial intelligence on education, research, and society—and the responsibilities that come with it. Key insights included:

• Trust and Transparency: AI must remain a tool, not a substitute for academic integrity.
• Ethics and Inclusion: Universities should lead with values, ensuring equity and human rights in AI adoption.
• Pedagogy First: Technology should enhance—not replace—critical thinking and creativity.
• Global Collaboration: From Zurich to Singapore to Lahore, the call for shared governance and capacity building is urgent.

A comprehensive book “Trust and Truth – How They Impact the Complex Relationship between Science and Society” on these debates has been published in early 2026, offering guidance for universities navigating this fast-changing landscape. Please find all publications here: https://glion.org/books/
