Current AI is an international initiative launched at the AI Action Summit in Paris with an initial $400 million investment, led by France and a broad array of government, philanthropic, and tech industry partners including Google and Salesforce. MacArthur Foundation is among the philanthropic backers. The initiative aims to raise $2.
5 billion over five years to fund open, accountable, and purpose-driven AI that prioritizes transparency, fairness, and global equity.
Funding focuses on three key pillars: Data (expanding access to high-value, locally relevant datasets in healthcare, media, and education), Openness (promoting open standards and tools ensuring AI technologies remain accessible, adaptable, and inclusive), and Accountability (establishing robust frameworks for transparency, auditing, and public oversight to ensure AI systems serve the public interest).
Current AI seeks to prevent AI harms while harnessing its benefits, with a particular emphasis on ensuring AI development does not concentrate power among a small number of developers. This is distinct from the Humanity AI initiative, which is a separate U.S.-based philanthropic coalition.
