On Wednesday, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) announced the formation of the CSIS AI Council.

Comprised of 17 global leaders, the council is an international effort co-chaired by Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO of Accenture, and Brad Smith, President and Vice Chair of Microsoft.
“AI is transforming the global economy and has the potential to contribute enormously to the development of a more innovative, prosperous, and sustainable world. The CSIS AI Council brings together an extraordinary group of leaders to etch out what corporate responsibility, international collaboration, and effective governance on AI looks like not only in principle, but in practice,” Smith said.
CSIS wrote:
Governments around the world are embarking on major AI policy and legislative initiatives that will have significant implications for the future of global growth and innovation. Over the next year, there is a critical window of opportunity for leading democracies to create a collaborative framework for global AI governance, ensure a future of responsible AI consistent with democratic values, and prevent a fractured AI regulatory landscape. Seizing this opportunity will be a major challenge, and the CSIS AI Council aims to provide an actionable way forward for international cooperation. This includes advising and supporting individual governments, as well as multilateral forums such as the Group of Seven (G7), through their work on this critical topic.
“As organizations around the world continue to advance AI at scale, there is an opportunity for leading governments to coordinate their approaches to regulation, so that everyone can realize the promise of AI responsibly,” Sweet said. “Through meaningful dialogue and cooperation, business and governments can foster the development and use of AI that is effective, fair, secure and respects every individual.”
The work of the CSIS AI Council seeks to provide vital insights on translating AI principles into practice, establishing common standards for AI safety and security measures, and accelerating global regulatory interoperability and coherence. This work is underpinned by three guiding principles: commitment to safe and responsible AI, promotion of AI in service of society, and the support of a global AI regulatory environment that fosters international collaboration. In addition to direct government and public engagement, the council will publish three white papers that make detailed, actionable, and prudent recommendations to the global AI policy community.

CSIS undertakes numerous programs and projects each with its own unique missions and interests. For example, the Defense-Industrial Initiatives Group provides research into the defense industry on behalf of government and corporate customers. The Global Health Policy Center focuses on U.S. engagements in HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, polio, and other high priorities, especially their intersection with U.S. national security interests. CSIS also has several endowed chairs in economics, Chinese studies, and other subjects.
CSIS has often provided a platform for high-profile figures to make important statements about international relations issues. For example, in September 2019, former National Security Advisor John Bolton delivered his first speech since leaving office at CSIS, and used the opportunity to be highly critical of US policy towards North Korea.
