Structure
GPAI Council
The GPAI Council is an all-Member body that convenes in two formats. It provides strategic direction to GPAI and is responsible for all major decisions, including on membership and participation.
The 2022-2023 GPAI Ministerial Council is co-chaired by Minister Minoru Terada and Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura of the Government of Japan, with the support of Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw of the Government of India, as GPAI Incoming Chair, and Minister Jean-Noël Barrot of the Government of France.
The 2022-2023 GPAI Executive Council is chaired by Yoichi Ida of Japan, the Lead Council Chair.
Steering Committee
The GPAI Steering Committee is an elected body comprised of five government members from the Council and six non-government representatives from the Multi-stakeholder Experts Group Plenary. It implements the direction of the Council, including development of the work plan and establishment of working groups, and provides substantive guidance and direction to the GPAI Secretariat and Centres of Expertise, as needed.
The Government of Japan will co-chair the 2022-2023 GPAI Steering Committee with the Multistakeholder Experts Group Plenary Chair.
Secretariat
The GPAI Secretariat, hosted at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris, supports the GPAI Council and the GPAI Steering Committee, liaises with the Centres of Expertise and facilitates strong synergies between GPAI’s scientific and technical work and the international AI policy leadership provided by the OECD.
At full capacity, the Secretariat reports and updates on policy analysis domestically and internationally, in addition to promoting and maintaining cooperation with other relevant initiatives.
Multi-stakeholder Experts Group Plenary
GPAI's work will be presented annually during a Multi-stakeholder Experts Group Plenary where between 100-150 experts from science, industry, civil society, trade unions, international organizations and governments will exchange on the outputs and discuss projects for forward-looking collaboration. This plenary will also produce an annual report on AI developments and develop recommendations based on the results from the applied projects undertaken by the GPAI working groups. The Chair of the Multi-stakeholder Experts Group Plenary also serves on the GPAI Steering Committee.
Centres of Expertise
Two Centres of Expertise, in Montreal and Paris, support GPAI’s working groups and organize the annual Multi-stakeholder Experts Group Plenary.
- The International Centre of Expertise of Montreal for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (ICEMIA) supports the working groups on responsible AI (including a subgroup on AI and pandemic response) and data governance.
- The Paris Centre, piloted by INRIA, supports the working groups on the future of work and innovation and commercialization.
Working groups
With their research and practical projects across various sectors and disciplines, the four working groups and an ad hoc subgroup are initially focusing on five themes:
The working groups each have two co-chairs and meet at least once a month. The co-chairs also meet regularly throughout the year to update one another on the working groups’ activities and discuss potential areas of collaboration through targeted joint meetings. The meetings between the working group co-chairs ensure that each group is aware of the others’ activities. Working group members additionally have access to other working groups’ materials through a central online platform.
