Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence

The new partnership initially brings together OECD members and GPAI countries: 44 in total, across six continents. It aims to welcome new members, spanning the spectrum of economic development and committed to the OECD Recommendation on Artificial Intelligence. Requirements for joining include:

• Commitment to the shared values reflected in the OECD Recommendation on Artificial Intelligence by adherence thereto or to the principles drawn verbatim therefrom through prior membership in GPAI.
• Demonstration of a proactive role in advancing responsible AI, grounded in human rights, both on domestic and international levels, as well as with organisations and initiatives.
• Demonstration of the capacity to nominate experts with sufficient knowledge of AI-related issues to inform the work of the Integrated Partnership.

GPAI’s mission is supported by multi-stakeholder engagement that allows for meaningful, continuous exchanges between governments and experts. These exchanges, in both formal and informal settings, enrich and contribute to the outputs.

GPAI’s new expert community brings together the current GPAI Multistakeholder Experts Group (MEG) and the OECD ONE AI expert network and their existing expert/working groups. It includes broad representation in terms of disciplines, stakeholders, regions and gender balance in the expert community of the integrated partnership.

A core part of the expert community, the Expert Support Centres are nationally funded AI-focused entities in three countries: Canada (CEIMIA), France (Inria) and Japan (NICT). They may take an active role in shaping and implementing the Partnership’s workplan and propose practical projects to support its implementation.
