Dean of the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science, Professor Elanor Huntington, and Director of the 3A Institute, Distinguished Professor Genevieve Bell, have been selected among Australia's first nominations to join a forum for the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI). The GPAI is the world's first multilateral and multi-stakeholder forum with a focus on AI. Australia is a founding member of the GPAI, along with Canada, the European Union, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Slovenia, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. GPAI working groups will collaborate across four themes: Responsible AI, Data governance, Future of work, and Innovation and commercialisation. Critically, in the short-term, GPAI's experts will also investigate how AI can be leveraged to better respond to, and recover from, COVID-19. The forum gives Australia a seat at the table, to guide international work to place humanity at the center of AI development, prevent the irresponsible use of AI, and further its use for social good. The GPAI will also consider how to continue to facilitate a global data economy, and the role that AI needs to play to meet United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.  "Part of the work we have to do is decide what to prioritise.
