Partnership on AI to Benefit People and Society (PAI) is a global multi-stakeholder nonprofit established in September 2016 by representatives from Amazon, Facebook (Meta), Google, DeepMind, IBM, and Microsoft, with Apple joining as a founding member in early 2017. It operates as an independent 501(c)(3) organization headquartered in San Francisco, California.
PAI's mission is to bring diverse voices together across global sectors, disciplines, and demographics so that developments in AI advance positive outcomes for people and society. The organization is explicitly not a trade group or advocacy organization; its purpose is to convene stakeholders, conduct collaborative research, and produce actionable resources that can be adopted in practice and that inform public policy.
As of 2024, PAI had grown to 128 partner organizations across 16 countries, including technology companies, philanthropic foundations, academic institutions, civil society organizations, and media groups. Board members represent organizations including Apple, Microsoft, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, Meta, the Ford Foundation, and several universities…
PAI's theory of change holds that the most important AI safety and governance challenges require multistakeholder deliberation to resolve effectively. By convening diverse voices from industry, civil society, academia, and government, PAI surfaces shared concerns, builds consensus around best practices, and produces actionable tools and frameworks. These resources are then adopted by partner organizations and cited by policymakers, which drives improvements in responsible AI development and deployment at scale. PAI operates on the premise that inclusive, evidence-based dialogue leads to better AI governance outcomes than either unilateral corporate action or purely regulatory approaches, and that trusted intermediaries can accelerate norm-setting across the global AI ecosystem.
