?? Sharing a huge responsible AI reporting milestone! ?? I’m incredibly proud to announce the release of three new case studies from Code For Africa (CfA), Google, and Meedan, about how they are implementing Partnership on AI's Synthetic Media Framework. This rounds out the *19*-case collection developed over the past two years: a massive effort to better understand opportunities + mitigate the risks of synthetic media. These case studies explore how these organizations are using disclosure to promote transparency in AI-generated content. It's been a long journey, but today, we have an extensive library that offers critical insights into how transparency and ethical practices can shape the future of AI. The latest case studies cover important topics ?? How synthetic media impacts elections and political content ?? How disclosure can limit misleading and gendered content ?? How transparency signals can empower users to make informed decisions It’s been immensely rewarding to see this project grow from an idea to a comprehensive, community-built framework that’s helping shape responsible AI deployment. And we're incredibly grateful to the partners who helped bring this latest vision to life -- especially -- Ed Bice, Nat Gyenes, Paree Zarolia, Clement Wolf, Chris Roper, Amanda Strydom who embraced Christian H. Cardona and I through months of edits and kind requests for more details :) And to Christian H. Cardona himself, who hit the ground running at PAI alongside the launch of this ambitious project, seamlessly collected cases, and has been a source of resolve, energy, and levity through it all. You can explore the final collection and dive into the full insights here: ??

Could labeling synthetic political ads help safeguard elections? To answer this question, we turned to Partnership on AI’s Synthetic Media Framework for guidance. Today we’re sharing what we learned. As one of Partnership on AI's Framework supporters, we're sharing our unique perspective to help inform the governance and responsible development of synthetic media technologies. This collective effort aims to advance the broader AI community's understanding. We're honored to be part of this collaborative Framework, contributing our experiences to further the responsible progress of this critical field.

NEW ?? Dive into three new case studies exploring how leading organizations - Code For Africa (CfA), Google, and Meedan - are mitigating synthetic media risks through PAI's Synthetic Media Framework: https://buff.ly/tAYbrzu These studies delve into an underexplored area of synthetic media governance known as direct disclosure - the methods or labels used to convey how content has been modified or created with AI. Read the new cases to learn: ?? How synthetic media can impact elections and political content ?? How disclosure can limit misleading, gendered content ?? How transparency signals help users make informed decisions about content Alongside our existing case studies, the case study library provides critical insights into the evolving landscape of AI content transparency and responsible technology deployment.

AI is transforming enterprise, but the path to responsible adoption isn’t always clear. This week at #HumanX, Partnership on AI hosted a fireside chat where CEO Rebecca Finlay joined Alayna Kennedy (Mastercard) and Emily M. (Adobe) to explore how enterprises can not only navigate AI adoption but also shape the future of AI governance and accountability. In the conversation, three themes stood out: ?? Trustworthy AI is a competitive advantage for enterprises -?There is a very strong business case for doing AI governance, even in this current landscape, as large enterprises are only going to procure AI?from organizations that have done their due diligence around safety. ?? Scaling is the key word?- Mastercard's experience--from reviewing 5 AI products in 2019 to over 400 in 2024--is an example of creating standardized, scalable controls that don't rely on manual reviews and can be consistent across applications ??You don't have to start from square one, there are existing frameworks to utilize -?Leading companies like Mastercard and Adobe have developed their own frameworks, in addition to industry-recognized risk frameworks like NIST and ISO standards that provide vetted, collaborative benchmarks that have become the international gold standard for AI governance As we look to the future of enterprise AI, the work ahead will require ongoing collaboration and innovation. By engaging diverse stakeholders, we can build frameworks that foster responsible AI adoption, shaping a future where AI drives value while upholding ethical standards across industries.

Policymakers, platforms, and civil society are grappling with generative AI’s role in shaping public discourse, particularly during elections. In the final three sessions of PAI’s AI and Elections Community of Practice, experts from the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), CIPESA, and Digital Action discussed AI’s use in election information and AI regulations in the West and beyond. The eight-part series is now complete, but throughout its course, many takeaways emerged as stakeholders shared their efforts, received feedback, and discussed tough questions and tradeoffs: ?? Down-ballot candidates and female politicians are more vulnerable to the negative impacts of generative AI in elections. ?? Platforms should dedicate more resources to localizing generative AI policy enforcement. ?? Globally, countries need to adopt more coherent regional strategies to regulate the use of generative AI in elections, balancing free expression and safety. For more insights, read the blog below.
