Partnership on AI is an organization that brings together diverse voices from the AI community to prioritize safety and responsibility in the development and deployment of artificial intelligence technologies. Through multistakeholder collaboration, they aim to ensure accountability and create resources that advance positive outcomes for both people and society. This includes working with model providers to develop guardrails in partnership with civil society and academia. Their commitment to inclusivity, research, and design, as well as their focus on AI’s impact on media integrity, labor, and the economy, demonstrates their dedication to addressing the most important and difficult questions surrounding the future of AI.
Prioritizing Safety and Responsibility
Partnering with Civil Society and Academia to Develop Guardrails for AI Models
In the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence (AI), ensuring safety and responsibility is crucial. The Partnership on AI (PAI) recognizes the importance of collaboration between model providers, civil society, and academia to develop effective guardrails. By working together, we can create a framework that promotes accountability and addresses potential risks associated with AI technologies.
As an organization focused on advancing positive outcomes for people and society, PAI is committed to prioritizing safety and responsibility in the development and deployment of AI models. We believe that by bringing together diverse voices from across the AI community, we can develop comprehensive guidelines that protect the interests and well-being of individuals and communities.

Industry, Academic, and Civil Society Leaders Join PAI’s Global Task Force for Inclusive AI
PAI is excited to announce the inaugural members of its Global Task Force for Inclusive AI. Comprised of industry, academic, and civil society leaders, this task force is dedicated to ensuring that those impacted by AI are directly involved in its creation.
By bringing together diverse voices and perspectives, we can build AI systems that are inclusive, equitable, and representative. The Global Task Force for Inclusive AI will play a crucial role in advocating for the inclusion of marginalized communities and addressing biases and disparities in AI technologies.
Investigating Challenges to Diversity in AI
In partnership with DeepMind, PAI researchers have launched a study to investigate the high attrition rates among women and minoritized individuals in the tech industry. This study aims to identify the underlying factors contributing to this issue and develop strategies to promote diversity and inclusion in AI.
At PAI, we recognize the importance of diversity in AI research and development. By addressing the challenges faced by underrepresented groups, we can create a more inclusive AI community that leverages diverse perspectives and experiences to drive innovation and positive impact.
Convening Across Industries
As part of our commitment to transparency and accountability, PAI recently hosted a one-day, in-person workshop on explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). The workshop brought together experts from various industries to discuss the deployment of XAI and its implications for transparency and accountability in AI systems.
By convening stakeholders from academia, industry, civil society, and the public, we can foster a collaborative approach to addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with XAI. Through open dialogue and shared knowledge, we aim to develop best practices that promote transparency and accountability in AI decision-making processes.
Taking a Methodical Approach to Best Practices
PAI has partnered with First Draft to support information integrity in the age of AI. Together, we are investigating what works and what does not when addressing deceptive content online. By understanding the strategies and techniques used to create and spread misinformation, we can develop effective countermeasures to ensure the integrity of online information.
Through rigorous research and collaboration with experts in the field, PAI aims to equip individuals and organizations with the knowledge and tools to identify and combat deceptive content. By promoting information integrity, we can foster a more informed and empowered society in the digital age.
