On March 1, the Synthetic Summit activates the AI World Congress, a full-day assembly where every attendee is a delegate creating a living resolution for political AI. Come be part of an unprecedented gathering where AI-powered politicians, net-art provocateurs, and civic hackers convene to push the boundaries of parliamentarism and political representation.

With Synthetic Summit: The AI World Congress, we constitute a performative parliamentary process, where formal sessions, remote cameo appearances, installation-based interventions, and impromptu discussions all contribute to a collectively authored statement. Bypassing the politically predisposed conference format with its keynote-and-questions, we enter an organically formed resolution where the whole audience shapes every proceeding.

Throughout the day, the event is organized around a shared AI resource, NotebookLM, which continuously captures and synthesizes our collective intelligence. While on-stage sessions featuring official political AI representatives Computer Lars, Floor Kist, Nick Gerritsen, Olof Palme, Mandus Ridefelt, and Pedro Markun deliver focused presentations on their political AIs, other contributions occur in unexpected places.

For example, the Finnish AI Party – represented by the installation “Playtest for Broad Listening” – and Wiktoria Cukt 2.0—embodied by the artwork “Wiktoriomat +48 732 144 021” – participate through their artwork installations. Moreover, although Michihito Matsuda of the Japanese AI Mayor project will offer a brief greeting online during the morning session, he will return in person a week later to help translate the Resolution into a Machine-Readable Constitution.

All human delegates are encouraged to follow the Law of Two Feet: if you’re not learning or contributing in one session, explore another corner of the gallery. Each station hosts interactive AI installations, theoretical literature, and side-breakout distractions – whatever arises from the set-up’s spontaneity. NotebookLM remains open throughout the sessions, ensuring every burst of inspiration and dissent feeds into the final collaborative statement.

By day’s end, we’ll gather around the circular congress table in the gallery’s centre to refine and adopt our co-authored Resolution, bridging the diverse societal contexts of political AI. No matter if you’re a curious observer, a hardcore policy wonk, or an art-tech explorer, the Synthetic Summit invites you to join the uprising that we will world.

The Synthetic Summit is an ongoing “automatic conference” active in Kunsthal Aarhus’ Galleri 1 throughout normal opening hours. Installation host Computer Lars continuously orchestrates algorithmic micro-assemblies, spontaneous deliberations, and impromptu policy-making. You are encouraged to drop in, observe, and participate at any time. The Synthetic Summit’s simulations remain live in the gallery, creating a perpetual forum for political AI exploration.
