Closed-Door Roundtables

The critical bridge between public panel debates and the AGI Readiness Report. Deep analysis with experts in an environment designed for candid, rigorous discourse.

What Are Closed-Door Roundtables?

Following each day's panels, closed-door roundtables provide a structured environment for deeper analysis and preliminary synthesis. These sessions serve as the critical bridge between public panel debates and the academic committees tasked with producing the AGI Readiness Report.

🎯

Deep Analysis

Where panels present competing positions and evidence, roundtables examine the quality of that evidence, identify logical gaps, and assess which claims rest on solid foundations versus speculation.

🤝

Preliminary Synthesis

Each roundtable produces a preliminary analysis document that summarizes the strongest arguments, identifies areas of consensus and disagreement, and raises questions for further investigation.

🔍

Rigorous Evaluation

Participants can press speakers on methodology, challenge underlying assumptions, and identify where further research is needed—without fear of public quotation or professional retaliation.

Structure & Format

📊 By The Numbers
  • 5-7 roundtables per discipline track
  • 15 participants per roundtable (3-5 speakers/panelists + 10-12 vetted attendees)
  • Chatham House Rules with binding confidentiality agreements
  • 2-3 hours of focused discussion following each day's panels

Two Critical Functions

1. Deep Analysis

Examine the quality of evidence presented in panels, identify logical gaps, and assess which claims rest on solid foundations. Participants can directly challenge speakers on methodology and underlying assumptions.

2. Preliminary Synthesis

Produce analysis documents that summarize strongest arguments, identify areas of genuine consensus and persistent disagreement, flag claims requiring additional evidence, and raise questions for academic committees to investigate further.

Who Can Attend?

Roundtable access is limited to Three Diamond Attendees plus select invited academics with demonstrated expertise in relevant disciplines.

Three Diamond Attendees receive priority access to roundtable sessions aligned with their areas of expertise, subject to availability and vetting criteria.

Selection Criteria

All roundtable participants must meet these requirements to maintain analytical independence and enable candid discussion. Roundtables evaluate the debate, content, science, law, and economics—not commercial products. No one representing a commercial business that could be affected by the AGI Readiness Report outcome may attend.

Confidentiality & Chatham House Rules

🔒 Strict Confidentiality

All roundtable participants sign binding confidentiality agreements. Discussions operate under strict Chatham House Rules: information discussed may be used, but the identity and affiliation of speakers cannot be revealed without explicit permission.

This Structure Enables:

  • Honest assessment of competing approaches without fear of professional retaliation
  • Candid criticism of influential frameworks, institutions, or funding priorities
  • Exploratory thinking beyond what participants might state publicly
  • Direct challenge of assumptions underlying panel presentations

Relationship to the AGI Readiness Report

Roundtable outputs are highly weighted in the academic committees' work. These preliminary analysis documents provide expert interpretation of panel content—identifying which debates are substantive versus semantic, where evidence is strongest, and which questions require deeper investigation.

Why Closed Door?

Open panels create incentives to position, promote, and defend. Closed roundtables create space to genuinely evaluate. The combination ensures the Summit produces both public debate (panels) and rigorous private analysis (roundtables)—feeding the academic committees with both raw argumentation and expert assessment.
