Representatives of 26 Member States, including Czechia, have adopted the Dublin Declaration on Trustworthy, Safe and Sovereign AI

At the International AI Summit organised in Dublin on 14 October 2026 by the Irish Presidency of the Council of the EU, representatives of 26 Member States adopted the Dublin Declaration on Trustworthy, Safe and Sovereign Artificial Intelligence. It was signed for Czechia by the Minister of Industry and Trade, Karel Havlíček. Only Slovenia is missing from the signatories.

The Declaration recalls the AI Act, the GDPR, the NIS2 Directive and the European Health Data Space Regulation and the need for their coherent and proportionate implementation; in its words, regulation is necessary but not sufficient. The signatories commit to seven priorities: AI safety and resilience, trustworthy applied AI, European AI sovereignty, investment in infrastructure and skills, the sustainability of AI, public sector innovation, and European and international cooperation. It is a political commitment, not a legally binding act.
