Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society, otherwise known as Partnership on AI, is a nonprofit coalition committed to the responsible use of artificial intelligence. Coming into inception in September of 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. [1]Since its founding, Partnership on AI has experienced plethora of change with influential moments, comprehensive principles and missions, and generating more relevancy by every passing day.

History

The Partnership on AI was publicly announced on September 28, 2016 with founding members Amazon, Facebook, Google, DeepMind, Microsoft, and IBM, with interim co-chairs Eric Horvitz of Microsoft Research and Mustafa Suleyman of DeepMind.[2][3][4][5] More than 100 partners from academia, civil society, industry, and nonprofits are member organizations in 2019.[6]

In January 2017, Apple head of advanced development for Siri, Tom Gruber, joined the Partnership on AI's board.[7] In October 2017, Terah Lyons joined the Partnership on AI as the organization's founding executive director.[8] Lyons brought to the organization her expertise in technology governance, with a specific focus in machine intelligence, AI, and robotics policy, having formerly served as Policy Advisor to the United States Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith. Lyons was succeeded by Partnership on AI board member Rebecca Finlay as interim executive director. Finlay was named CEO of Partnership on AI on October 26, 2021.

In October 2018, Baidu became the first Chinese firm to join the Partnership.[9]

In November 2020 the Partnership on AI announced the AI Incident Database (AIID),[10] which is a tool to identify, assess, manage, and communicate AI risk and harm.

In August 2021, the Partnership on AI submitted a response to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The response provided examples of PAI’s work related to AI risk management, such as the Safety Critical AI report on responsible publication of AI research, the ABOUT ML project on documentation and transparency in machine learning lifecycles, and the AI Incident Database. [11]The response also highlighted how the AI Incident Database involves some of the minimum attributes in NIST’s AI RMF, such as being consensus-driven, risk-based, adaptable, and consistent with other approaches to managing AI risk. [12]

On October 26, 2021, Rebecca Finlay was named CEO.[13]

In February 2023, the Partnership on AI (PAI) launched a novel framework aimed at guiding the ethical development and use of synthetic media. This initiative was backed by a variety of initial partners, including notable entities such as Adobe, BBC, CBC/Radio-Canada, Bumble, OpenAI, TikTok, WITNESS, and synthetic media startups Synthesia, D-ID, and Respeecher. 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.[14]
