Funding Disclosure

This study was funded entirely by Partnership on AI, including all costs associated with hosting two virtual convenings. Partnership on AI is funded through a combination of philanthropic institutions and corporate charitable contributions. As a founding Partner, Apple provides Partnership on AI with corporate charitable contributions. However, primary corporate funding is always considered general operating support and legally classified as non-earmarked charitable contributions (not donations in exchange for goods or services, or quid pro quo contributions) to avoid the possibility of conflict in corporate funders having undue influence on Partnership on AI’s agenda, initiatives, or any specific projects. At the time of initial publication, an employee of Apple, Inc. served on the board of directors of Partnership on AI. More detail on Partnership on AI’s funding and governance is available here.
