Mr. Patryk Pawlak, Global Initiative on the Future of the Internet - Patryk Pawlak will explain how governments deliver on their digital policy commitments and how progress can be measured and assessed. Drawing on the Internet Accountability Compass, his intervention will explore ways to strengthen transparency and accountability in governance at a time when decisions about digital policy are having an increasingly significant impact on societies and democracies. It will also highlight links with the Internet Governance Labs initiative under the IGF.

Mr. Fredrik Lindeberg, Netnod - Agentic AI is changing what runs on the Internet, not what the Internet is. Fredrik Lindeberg will explain why the shared core, DNS and exchange points, sees AI only indirectly, through new traffic paths, more names and new threats, and why the best thing policymakers can do for digital trust is to help keep that layer neutral and resilient.
