GPAI is a forum where countries manage AI’s risks and reap its benefits
GPAI is a forum where member countries and stakeholder groups join forces to shape trustworthy AI. In 2019, OECD countries developed the OECD AI Principles, the first intergovernmental standard on AI. GPAI countries are committed to these principles, and they serve as the basis for the new GPAI Integrated Partnership.
A global hub for AI policy
A few priority topics are at the core of GPAI’s work programme:
- AI risks and accountability,
- Researching potential AI futures
- Defining and tracking AI incidents,
- “AI compute” capacity and the effects of AI on climate change.
- Responsible AI
- Data governance
- Future of work
- Innovation and commercialisation
The OECD.AI platform combines resources from across the OECD and GPAI, partners, and stakeholder groups to create a one-stop-shop for AI policymakers and other actors.

GPAI brings stakeholders together
At the heart of its work is the GPAI Community of Experts, a multistakeholder group of over 400 AI experts worldwide that informs policy responses on emerging topics, from AI risk assessments to tools for implementing trustworthy AI and measuring national AI computing capacities.
The GPAI team reviews how countries are implementing the Principles. At the same time, a horizontal project covers AI in Work, Innovation, Productivity and Skills.
Conditions for countries to join GPAI
Countries must meet several criteria before joining GPAI:
- Commitment to the shared values reflected in the OECD Recommendation on Artificial Intelligence by adherence thereto or to the principles drawn verbatim therefrom through prior membership in GPAI.
- Demonstration of a proactive role in advancing responsible AI, grounded in human rights, both on domestic and international levels, and with organisations and initiatives.
- Demonstration of the capacity to nominate experts with sufficient knowledge of AI-related issues to inform the work of the Integrated Partnership.
