Partnership on AI (PAI) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2016 by Amazon, Facebook, Google, DeepMind, IBM, and Microsoft, with Apple joining shortly after. PAI convenes over 100 partner organizations across 16 countries to collaboratively develop tools, recommendations, and actionable guidance on AI safety, fairness, transparency, labor impacts, and media integrity. Rather than functioning as a trade group or advocacy organization, PAI brings diverse voices together to synthesize insights into practical resources and to drive adoption across partner organizations and inform public policy.

Theory of Change
PAI's theory of change holds that the most important AI safety and governance challenges require multistakeholder deliberation to resolve effectively. By convening diverse voices from industry, civil society, academia, and government, PAI surfaces shared concerns, builds consensus around best practices, and produces actionable tools and frameworks. These resources are then adopted by partner organizations and cited by policymakers, which drives improvements in responsible AI development and deployment at scale. PAI operates on the premise that inclusive, evidence-based dialogue leads to better AI governance outcomes than either unilateral corporate action or purely regulatory approaches, and that trusted intermediaries can accelerate norm-setting across the global AI ecosystem.
