The Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI, or "gee-pay") is an international and multi-stakeholder initiative that aims to advance the responsible and human-centric development and use of artificial intelligence.[2] Specifically, GPAI brings together leading experts from science, industry, civil society, and governments to "bridge the gap between theory and practice" through applied AI projects and activities.[3] The goal is to facilitate international collaboration, reduce duplication between governments, and act as a global reference point on discussions on responsible AI.[3][4]
First announced on the margins of the 2018 G7 Summit by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron, GPAI officially launched on June 15, 2020[5] with fifteen founding members: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India,[6] Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Slovenia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.[7][8] The OECD hosts a dedicated secretariat to support GPAI's governing bodies and activities.[7] UNESCO joined the partnership in December 2020 as an observer.[9][7] On November 11, 2021, Czechia, Israel and few more countries also joined the GPAI,[10] bringing the total membership to 25 countries.[2]
GPAI's experts collaborate across several Working Groups themes: Responsible AI (including an ad-hoc subgroup on AI and Pandemic Response), Data Governance, Future of Work, and Innovation & Commercialization.[3] GPAI's Working Groups are supported by two Centres of Expertise: one in Montreal that supports the first two Working Groups, and one in Paris that supports the latter two.[3]
Jordan Zed and Baroness Joanna Shields were elected as Co-Chairs of the Steering Committee for 2020-2021 as representatives for Canada and the United Kingdom respectively.[11] Shields was re-elected in 2021 and now co-chairs with Renaud Vedel, the France representative.[12][13] Shields is also the elected Multi Stakeholder Group (MEG) Plenary Chair for years 2020 to 2022.[14] Shields represented GPAI at the Paris Peace Forum in November 2021.[15]
