About

Theme

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly shaping global security through its use in defense systems, surveillance, spying, and cybersecurity. While AI enhances efficiency and threat detection, its unregulated development raises serious concerns, including autonomous weapons, mass surveillance, data misuse, and cyber escalation. The absence of clear international regulations risks ethical violations, privacy breaches, and global instability. Establishing responsible and cooperative AI governance is therefore essential to protect human rights, ensure transparency, and maintain international peace and security.

Opportunities

Beyond the academic experience, EPFLMUN 2026 will offer numerous opportunities for networking and social engagement. The conference will feature two dedicated social events, including a gala ball on Saturday evening, providing delegates with the chance to unwind, interact, and build lasting and meaningful connections with peers from around the world.
