Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence


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 EU countries also joined the GPAI,[10] bringing the total membership to 25 countries.[2] Since the November 2022 summit, the list of members stands at 29, with in addition to the above, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Ireland, The Netherlands, Poland, Senegal, Serbia, Sweden, and Turkey.[11]

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] It also has a Steering Committee, the elected chair of which has also been to date elected chair of the Multi Stakeholder Group (MEG).[12] These chairs have been:

  • Jordan Zed and Baroness Joanna Shields (Shields, MEG chair; 2020-2021),
  • Joanna Shields and Renaud Vedel (Shields, MEG chair; 2021-2022),
  • Yoichi Iida and Inma Martinez (Martinez, MEG chair; 2023-2024)

GPAI has a rotating presidency and host (much like the G7). The presidencies to date have been:

  • Canada (2020)
  • France
  • Japan
  • India (2023)
