Earth05

What Earth05 does

Earth05 (legally Earth05 Union) is a Swiss nonprofit organization founded in 2023 and headquartered in Le Grand-saconnex, Switzerland, that operates SUMMIT 333, a tri-annual invitation-only AI Safety & Governance summit. The organization convenes global decision-makers—CEOs, tech founders, government officials, policymakers, scientists, engineers, VCs, family offices, and cultural stewards—to drive consensus toward a "Universal AI Safety Framework." Its primary customer base spans government/policy, technology/AI enterprise, investment, and academia, with a secondary youth segment engaged through Youth in AI Leadership (YAIL) chapters in Bogotá, Abu Dhabi, and Mexico. Featured speakers include Vint Cerf, Geoffrey Hinton, Stephen Ibaraki, Jaan Tallinn, David Hanson, Dr. Grace S. Thomson, and Max Tegmark.

Earth05's core offerings consist of the flagship AI Safety summit (Abu Dhabi, November 9-11 2025, powered by MBZUAI; Barcelona, June 2026), the HUMANE AI Gala, global AI Safety debates (live broadcast on November 9 and 11), and the YAIL youth chapter program. Distribution combines the SUMMIT 333 website, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, and YouTube channels, with live streaming and a dedicated SUMMIT 333 App extending physical attendance to a global virtual audience. Core technology is not explicitly disclosed and there are no documented AI products, APIs, or proprietary platforms; Earth05 functions as a convening and advocacy organization rather than a technology vendor.

The business model relies on event sponsorships, with MBZUAI (Mohammad Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence) serving as the 2025 Main Sponsor and powering the Abu Dhabi inauguration. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; attendance is invitation-only and applied for via [email protected]. The organization has no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, parent-company ownership, or management-team bios in the source material, suggesting independent founder/operator control of a small (11-50 employees) nonprofit with concentrated funding dependencies on flagship institutional sponsors.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• World Economic Forum: The WEF is the closest analog to Earth05/SUMMIT 333: an invitation-only, globally rotating convener of heads of state, CEOs, and thought leaders for multi-stakeholder governance agenda-setting. Earth05 is essentially building the WEF format scoped specifically to AI safety.
• NeurIPS / Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems: NeurIPS is the largest academic AI conference and increasingly hosts AI safety and governance tracks. It is a broad incumbent in the AI convening space that overlaps with Earth05's researcher and policymaker audience.
• AI for Good (ITU): AI for Good (ITU, with Stephen Ibaraki as Founder) is a global UN-backed AI convening platform. It directly overlaps Earth05's 'AI for governance' mission, and shares speaker networks including Ibaraki himself.

Direct peers

• AI Safety Summit (UK Government-led series): The UK-hosted AI Safety Summit series (Bletchley 2023, Seoul 2024, Paris 2025) is the highest-profile recurring AI safety gathering and directly competes for the same speaker slate, sponsor dollars, and policy influence Earth05 is targeting.
• Future of Life Institute: FLI convenes global AI safety and governance dialogues, publishes the Asilomar AI Principles, and runs the AI Action Summit. It is a direct peer in the AI safety advocacy and convening space, with overlapping speaker networks (Tallinn, Tegmark, Hinton-adjacent).
• Partnership on AI: Partnership on AI is a multi-stakeholder organization convening industry, academia, and civil society on AI governance and safety. It is a direct functional peer to Earth05's stated Universal AI Safety Framework mission.
• Centre for AI Safety: CAIS is a leading AI safety research and advocacy organization that published the 2023 Statement on AI Risk signed by Hinton and Bengio. It is a direct peer in producing the kind of policy artifacts and convening authority Earth05 is aiming for.
• Centre for the Study of Existential Risk: CSER (co-founded by Jaan Tallinn, a SUMMIT 333 speaker) is a Cambridge-based research center focused on existential risks from advanced AI. It is a direct peer in academic and policy convening on AI safety.

Emerging players

• MILA (Quebec AI Institute): MILA hosts major AI safety and governance events and produces widely-cited policy work. It is comparable in academic-anchored convening and AI safety thought leadership, anchored by Yoshua Bengio.
• Asilomar Conference on Beneficial AI: The Asilomar Conference series, organized by FLI, produced the influential Asilomar AI Principles and is a recurring invite-only gathering of AI safety researchers. It is a direct comparable in format and output to SUMMIT 333.
