Seputarpublik.com || BALI --  September 4, 2026 – Representatives from leading global forums in youth, education, technology, politics, religion, academia, and civil society have gathered in Bali for the World Encounter Summit 2026, a major international convergence focused on one of the defining questions of the AI era: how can artificial intelligence strengthen human dignity, fraternity, and world peace?

The gathering is being held at the United In Diversity (UID) Bali Campus and the Kura Kura Bali Special Economic Zone (SEZ) as part of the Bali Harmony Encounter Week 2026.

The summit comes at a time when artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming societies and economies, creating opportunities for sustainable development, inclusive prosperity, and new approaches to global challenges.

At the same time, the benefits of AI remain unevenly distributed. Differences persist within and between countries in access to data, computing capacity, digital infrastructure, talent, governance capabilities, and the ability to influence how AI is designed and deployed.
