Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI)

The Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) is an international initiative that guides the responsible development and use of AI, respecting human rights and democratic values. Launched in 2020 by Canada and France, it has grown to include 25 member countries. GPAI focuses on bridging the gap between AI theory and practice, supporting research, and promoting trustworthy AI adoption. It’s structured around a council, steering committee, expert groups, and working groups on themes like responsible AI and data governance. The 2023 developments include the annual summit in India, policy briefs on generative AI and AI foundation models, and a G7 ministers’ commitment to AI policy collaboration. GPAI’s projects tackle issues like environment, diversity, social media governance, and pandemic response, aiming to strengthen international collaborations and address emerging AI challenges and opportunities.
