Partnership on AI Adds Six New Members Globally

Partnership on AI announced six new members Tuesday, marking the biggest single expansion of its Partner roster as the organization moves into its second decade. The additions span three continents and three sectors: AI Safety Asia and Anthropic from the industry and safety side, the Financial Health Network representing consumer finance, the Multiracial Democracy Project at George Washington University Law School and the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington from academia and civil rights work, and Transluce, an independent AI research group.

The timing matters. PAI, founded ten years ago to build shared standards for responsible AI development, has spent that decade working with companies, researchers, and advocacy groups to create common ground on how AI systems get built and deployed. This new group of Partners brings specific expertise, frontier model development at Anthropic, independent evaluation work at Transluce, financial data analysis at the Financial Health Network, and civil rights and democratic participation research at the Multiracial Democracy Project.

CEO Rebecca Finlay framed the additions as part of a broader push to widen who gets a say in AI governance decisions, particularly voices from outside the usual centers of power.
