Partnership on AI

Coming into inception in September 2016, PAI (Partnership on AI) grouped together members from over 90 companies and non-profits in order to explore best practice recommendations for the tech community.

[6] In January 2017, Apple head of advanced development for Siri, Tom Gruber, joined the Partnership on AI's board.

Lyons was succeeded by Partnership on AI board member Rebecca Finlay as interim executive director.

[12] In February 2023, the Partnership on AI (PAI) launched a novel framework aimed at guiding the ethical development and use of synthetic media.

The framework, which emphasizes transparency, creativity, and safety, was the result of a year-long collaborative process involving contributions from a wide range of stakeholders, including synthetic media startups, social media platforms, news organizations, advocacy groups, academic institutions, policy professionals, and public commenters.

By exploring the intersections between AI and fundamental human values, the former establishes guidelines for algorithmic equity, explainability, and responsibility.

Simultaneously, the latter empowers communities by providing guidelines on co-creating AI solutions, fostering inclusivity throughout the research and design process.

[21] In collaboration with DeepMind, the Partnership on AI has also launched a study to investigate the high attrition rates among women and minoritized individuals in tech.

[23] In an effort to support information integrity, the Partnership on AI collaborated with First Draft to investigate effective strategies for addressing deceptive content online.

The AIID, which shifted to a new special-purpose independent non-profit in 2022, serves as a valuable resource for understanding and mitigating the potential risks associated with AI.

During the event, the Partnership on AI (PAI) unveiled their "Guidance for Safe Foundation Model Deployment" for public feedback.
