About
Partnership on AI (PAI) will host a Policy Forum bringing global policymakers into the conversation with PAI’s community of Partners and other collaborators. Recent, rapid advances pose urgent questions about AI governance — but we don’t have to answer them alone.
This invitation only, in-person event will convene policymakers, AI practitioners, representatives of philanthropic and civil society organizations, and academic experts for a series of discussions on current developments in the global AI policy space and how to best promote AI safety.
At this event, PAI will be launching our safety protocols for foundation models for public comment, a set of comprehensive and forward-looking guidelines for identifying and mitigating risks associated with large-scale AI deployment. These protocols were collaboratively developed with input from PAI’s global community, including representatives of industry, civil society, and government.

PAI led the development of the Guidance for Safe Foundation Model Deployment in close collaboration with leaders from industry, civil society, and academia. The cross-sectoral development exemplified the PAI multistakeholder process, exploring consensus on key issues: from identifying risks to scaling oversight and safety practices based on the capabilities and availability of each AI model. Hear from leaders involved in the creation of the Protocols on the need for iterative approaches and being responsive as capabilities and uses emerge.

Increasingly, human rights frameworks and approaches are being embedded into European policies and regulation. While not all are AI-specific, these regulations have impacts on the technology sector writ large. Importantly, approaching AI with a human rights lens requires recognizing the important role humans play in enabling AI development. In particular, it is important to ensure that data enrichment workers — workers who label, annotate, or otherwise enrich data used to train AI models- are protected and treated with respect.
