Meedan has been invited by Partnership on AI (PAI) to join its AI and Media Integrity Steering Committee, a group of institutions that meets every two weeks to advise and collaborate on projects related to the intersection of AI, digital media, and online information. 

Steering Committee members are chosen based on their ability to contribute to a diverse and multidisciplinary approach to the responsible development of AI technology. 

“We seek representation from established tech companies building generative AI tools, news organizations, academics, and NGOs/Civil Society organizations,” explains PAI. 

Ed Bice, Meedan’s CEO will join current committee members from the BBC, Witness, the New York Times, CBC/Radio-Canada, Google, Amazon, Meta, Adobe, and Microsoft.

“We are looking forward to not only providing our input and insight as a technology not-for-profit working towards building a more equitable Internet, but on sharing our use cases for the development of PAI’s guidance materials,” comments Meedan CEO Ed Bice. 

PAI is a non-profit partnership of academic, civil society, industry, and media organizations creating solutions so that AI advances positive outcomes for people and society. 

Through its AI and Media Integrity Program, PAI is developing best practices for AI to have a positive impact on the global information ecosystem. The AI and Media Integrity Steering Committee is focused on specific projects confronting the threats and opportunities from AI-generated content. The Steering Committee also seeks to increase coordination across organizations implicated by these developments, as these challenge areas affect a broad ecosystem of sectors, organizations, and people around the world.
