Partnership created to develop AI

Nearly every major tech company with a large investment in AI—namely Facebook, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, and Google—has joined to create a non-profit organization to educate the public about the technology and share industry best-practices on transparency and ethics. It’s named the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society (also acceptably called the Partnership on AI or PAI).

The partnership is built upon the notion that AI is a daunting, scary invention that the general public doesn’t necessarily trust or understand. By banding together, these tech companies are creating a united front—a show of good faith amongst competitors—to promise that this tectonic shift in computing won’t be at the disadvantage to the world.
