Founded in 1995 as Switzerland's contribution to NATO's Partnership for Peace, the GCSP is an international foundation governed by 55 member states and headquartered in Geneva's Maison de la paix. Its mission is to provide knowledge, skills, and networks for effective and inclusive decision-making on global security challenges. The GCSP operates through five main departments: Executive Education, Diplomatic Dialogue, Research and Policy Advice, the Global Fellowship Initiative, and the Creative Spark innovation program. It plays an active role in AI governance through initiatives such as the Geneva Process on AI Principles, which examines the implementation of ethical principles for military AI, and research on the intersection of artificial intelligence with nuclear command and control.

Theory of Change
The GCSP believes that improving global security outcomes requires educating decision-makers across government, military, and international institutions and creating neutral spaces for expert dialogue on emerging threats. On AI governance specifically, the GCSP works to narrow the gap between abstract ethical principles for military AI and concrete implementation by governments and armed forces. By convening states, militaries, technical experts, and international organizations, and by publishing accessible policy guidance, it aims to establish shared international norms and governance frameworks for AI in defense contexts — reducing the risks of unsafe or ungoverned AI deployment in high-stakes security environments, including nuclear command and autonomous weapons systems.
