Responsible Development, Use and Governance of AI Working Group Report

RAI has 30 members. Its international experts come from various fields, something which favors robust discussions and the emergence of diverse viewpoints. More precisely, 14 members of RAI come from the technical world (e.g. machine learning, information technologies), whereas 16 come from the social and human sciences sector and fields like communications, anthropology, literature, management, history, psychology, philosophy, international affairs, international development, journalism, economics, and political science. 40% of RAI's members are women, a number which we’ll work to increase in the future. Most members (63%) come from the academic sector, but 17% work in the private sector, 13% for nonprofits and 7% in the Public Sector. A better balance should be achieved in coming months and years as we believe that the collaboration of all stakeholders will be necessary to ensure AI is produced and used in a responsible manner. RAI also represents an interesting diversity of countries, although more countries and international organizations should be represented in the short and medium term, especially countries and entities from the Global South. As of November 30, members were based in 17 countries, that is Argentina, Australia, Canada (2 people), France (3), Germany (2), India (2), Italy, Japan (2), Korea, Mexico (2), the Netherlands, New Zealand (2), Singapore, Slovenia (2), Sweden, the United Kingdom (3), and the USA (3). These members have been designated by the 15 founding members of GPAI or recommended by UNESCO. It’s worth mentioning that members are designated by GPAI’s member countries or recommended by international institutions, but act with full independence inside RAI. Finally, 7 additional specialists take part in RAI's activities as observers. One of them is a representative of the OECD, a strategic partner of GPAI, and another one a representative of a panel of experts that advises the OECD.
