European Steering Committee

Europe is at a pivotal moment in shaping the future of AI. As generative and agentic AI systems advance and new governance frameworks emerge, the region faces pressing questions about how to maximize benefits while safeguarding society. To address this, PAI is bringing together independent, interdisciplinary experts to deepen shared understanding of emerging capabilities, risks, and opportunities.

About the Steering Committee

The Steering Committee convenes leaders from academia, civil society, and industry to examine how evolving AI technologies intersect with Europe’s social, technical, and governance ecosystems. By surfacing patterns and cross-cutting themes across these issues, the Committee informs PAI’s strategy, programs, and partnerships in the region.

The Committee meets regularly to advise on PAI’s work in Europe, including implementation of the EU Code of Practice, emerging accountability tools, and the implications of new generative and agentic AI capabilities. Its mandate is to help build an evidence-driven view of Europe’s AI landscape and to recommend actions that advance responsible AI development across the EU and UK. Read the full announcement here.

“Europe needs consistent, real-world governance of AI, not only policy on paper. The PAI European Steering Committee brings together academia, research, civil society, and industry to share best practices on actionable tools and oversight models. It’s how we move from frameworks to measurable outcomes that earn public trust.”
