Who We Are
Current AI is a first-of-its-kind global partnership founded at the AI Action Summit in February 2025 to accelerate public-interest AI. Backed by over €400 million and growing, we bring together governments, philanthropy, researchers, and industry to build the shared infrastructure AI needs: open tools, trusted data, and people-first applications.
We are headquartered in France as an independent, non-profit association (loi 1901) with a unique dual-governance structure that ensures independence, transparency, and accountability.
Why We Exist
To enable a future built by all and for all.
AI has the potential to transform societies but its current trajectory will not deliver public benefits on its own.
The data
imperative
Collaboration as
the key
Window of opportunity
What We Do
Through global collaboration and local action, we’re building a future where open, trustworthy technology serves the public interest.
We do this by providing:
Direct Support: We fund teams building AI solves real problems in clinics, schools, and public services, delivering outcomes that improve lives and build trust. We also provide access to datasets, accountability frameworks and compute.
Funding Platform: We coordinate across governments, philanthropy, and private actors to fill ecosystem gaps. We bring together public and private non-profit funders to help align and coordinate efforts, plug gaps and build resilience.
In 2025, our flagship pilots are focused on:
Audit & Accountability
Linguistic & Cultural Diversity
Health & Science Data

Our Definition of Public-Interest AI
Public-interest AI is open, transparent and supports inclusive principles. It should reduce inequality, support public services, and be governed in ways that reflect the needs and values of diverse communities. Read more here.
The choices we make today will set the direction of AI for decades to come. Together, we can make sure they serve the public interest.
