RAISE SUMMIT 2026 AND MACHINA · PARIS · JULY 7–9, 2026
At RAISE Summit 2026 and MACHINA, taking place in Paris, France, July 7–9, 2026, global leaders in artificial intelligence will gather to explore the next great transformation of the AI era: the movement of AI beyond screens, software, and language models into the physical world.
Organized by RAISE, with MACHINA as a dedicated forum for Physical AI, the summit brings together founders, researchers, technology executives, robotics innovators, investors, and policymakers shaping the future of embodied intelligence. Among the featured speakers is Yann LeCun — a pioneer of deep learning, honored among the America 250: AI Pioneers and a Founding Signatory of the Boston Declaration — alongside leaders in robotics and embodied AI from across the world.
The summit reflects a vision articulated by leaders of the new era of AI and computing, including Jensen Huang, who has described Physical AI as the next wave — intelligent systems that understand the laws of the physical world and operate through robots, autonomous machines, and industrial systems.
Physical AI — integrating artificial intelligence with robotics, humanoids, autonomous systems, digital twins, and intelligent machines — is becoming a strategic domain for manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, security, infrastructure, and society.
This transition raises a historic challenge: as AI gains the ability not only to generate information but also to act in the physical world, humanity must build new foundations of trust, safety, accountability, transparency, and Human-in-Command governance.
The rise of Physical AI reinforces the importance of the AIWS Trust Infrastructure and The Boston Declaration: On the Primacy of the Human Person in the Age of Artificial Intelligence — ensuring that intelligent machines, whether digital or physical, serve human dignity, freedom, and wisdom.
