Please use the form below to submit comments on Partnership on AI’s Guidelines for Participatory and Inclusive AI. For background on this work, please check out our latest blog on Stakeholder Engagement for Responsible AI and our page on our Global Task Force for Inclusive AI. While we welcome all feedback, here are some outstanding questions we have identified that we are seeking input on:
  • How can the guidance and guardrails provided for each use case be more descriptive to enable users of this resource to take action and develop more inclusive stakeholder engagement strategies?
  • Are there any common use cases of stakeholder engagement that you have dealt with that should be included in the guidelines?
  • Are there additional significant harms to socially marginalized communities or individuals that should be discussed throughout this resource? 
  • How do you see these guidelines being applied to your work or experience with AI?
  • What format should the final resource take to ensure you can easily and frequently use it while navigating stakeholder engagement issues? How can we make this more useful for you and your work?







General Feedback

Guidance and Guardrails

This section of the Guidance outlines guidance and guardrails to be attentive to when developing stakeholder engagement strategies and approaches, both in general and by common use cases. This section is motivated by the following questions:

  • What “things not to do” principles (guardrails) should be applied consistently across all situations?
  • What are the features of a community-centering stakeholder engagement approach?
  • What are the features of a community-harming stakeholder engagement approach?
