The Zadar Declaration

Human Leadership, Trusted AI and Fair Global Trade.

AI for Good — for People, Planet and Prosperity.

The Zadar Declaration was the closing commitment of CDayZ 2026. In Zadar, on Friday 9 October 2026, the closing session of the conference was given to it: a joint commitment by the leaders present to four principles.

  1. AI serves People, Planet and Prosperity.
  2. Human beings remain responsible for consequential decisions.
  3. AI agents act within visible, limited and revocable mandates.
  4. Trade rests on trust that can be verified — from Lex Mercatoria and the statutes of Zadar into the AI era.

The closing session is a chapter of the book: The Zadar Declaration and the Closing Session.
