The GPAI will “bring together experts from industry, civil society governments and the academic world” to work on : Responsible use of AI; Data governance, The future of work; Innovation and commercialisation.

The Secretariat of the GPAI will be hosted by the OECD in Paris which will allow the GPAI to take advantage of the OECD’s expertise on AI policy and to develop strong links between international policy and technical discourse.The GPAI will also be supported by two Centers of Expertise in Montreal and in Paris (INRIA) which will provide “administrative and research support for the practical projects undertaken or assessed by Working Group experts”.

The first annual GPAI Multistakeholder Experts Group Plenary will be hosted by Canada in December 2020.
