Intel, Salesforce, eBay, Sony, SAP, McKinsey Company, Zalando and Cogitai are joining the Partnership on AI<\/a>, a collection of companies and non-profits that have committed to sharing best practices and communicating openly about the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence research. The new members will be working\u00a0alongside existing partners<\/a> that include\u00a0Facebook, Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Apple<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Collectively, the partners will be hosting\u00a0a series of AI Grand Challenges to incentivize researchers to contribute to key roadblocks in the field and to address some of the social and societal ramifications of artificial intelligence research. The group is also announcing a best paper award\u00a0for the greatest contribution to \u201cAI, People, and Society,\u201d to aid in addressing a\u00a0similar goal.<\/p>\n

In addition to the paper awards and challenges, the Partnership on AI will also be establishing topic and sector-specific work groups to make good on the group\u2019s promise to generate a list of best practices for researchers.<\/p>\n

The success\u00a0of these projects depends on being able to build a community around the partnership, independent from larger partners. A new\u00a0Civil Society Fellowship program will provide resources to anyone who feels they can help improve the impact that AI research has on the world,\u00a0helping to kickstart outside involvement.<\/p>\n

In addition to the new corporate partners, the group also announced that fourteen non-profits would be contributing to the organization. This group includes non-profits\u00a0with an interest in promoting continued research in AI and ensuring equality of access to its benefits.<\/p>\n

The full list of new non-profit partners includes\u00a0the\u00a0Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, the\u00a0AI Forum of New Zealand, the\u00a0Centre for Democracy Technology, the\u00a0Centre for Internet and Society \u2013 India,\u00a0Data Society Research Institute, the\u00a0Digital Asia Hub, the\u00a0Electronic Frontier Foundation, the\u00a0Future of Humanity Institute, the\u00a0Future of Privacy Forum, the\u00a0Human Rights Watch, the\u00a0Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence,\u00a0UNICEF,\u00a0Upturn, and the\u00a0XPRIZE Foundation.<\/p>\n

The Partnership on AI is currently hunting for an Executive Director who will help to manage the organization\u2019s operations. The team says it is\u00a0still open to new partners so it would be reasonable to expect the list to continue to grow in the coming months.<\/p>\n
