SAIGE Council
We are at a crucial juncture in the development of AI. Accelerating developments in generative AI applications and agents are raising complex questions about their benefits and risks, amidst a time of broader geopolitical uncertainty. To meet this moment, PAI is convening independent, interdisciplinary experts to build shared understanding around capabilities, impacts, and risks and to connect this work to similar efforts worldwide.
About the Council
The Council brings together interdisciplinary leaders to explore how rapidly evolving AI technologies intersect with social and technical systems, human interaction, environmental sustainability, democracy, and labor. By identifying patterns and cross-cutting themes across these domains, the Council supports a deeper understanding of AI’s societal impacts.
Chaired by PAI’s CEO, Rebecca Finlay, the Council meets regularly to advise on PAI’s new strategic plan, with the ultimate goal of co-developing a Public Roadmap. Its mandate is to help build an evidence-based consensus on the current state of AI, identify key questions and research needs, and recommend actions to ensure AI development serves the public good.
