PAI’s 2026 Partner Forum is an exclusive gathering for nonprofits, technology companies, philanthropic institutions, and global policymakers.

With the theme “Responsible AI Takes Shape,” this forum aims to foster meaningful conversations and collaborations.

As PAI marks a decade of building the most inclusive multi-stakeholder AI community, this forum will convene senior leaders from across sectors including – civil society, industry, philanthropy, and government, for a focused afternoon of dialogue and collective action. The intimate format is intentional, high-level, and will allow for substantive and candid conversations.

Held on the margins of the ITU AI for Good Summit and the inaugural UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance, the forum introduces two signature initiatives—the Responsible AI Action Registry and the Global AI Progress Report—and invites partners to help shape them.
