PAIGHUB connects the people and organizations already bringing citizens' voices into AI governance — deliberative processes, civic assemblies, research symposia — so their work compounds instead of competing. One coordination space, many independent efforts.
Numerous initiatives already bring citizens into AI governance but they often work in isolation, duplicating effort. PAIGHUB helps them find each other, coordinate, and grow together. Between 2025 and 2030, the Hub aims to:
Convene a global network of at least 100 organizations working on participatory AI governance.
Maintain a living map of initiatives, methodologies and resources.
Organize annual coordination meetings and thematic working groups alongside Global Dialogue and AI Summit events.
Facilitate collaboration, partnership building and joint fundraising.
Develop shared principles and standards for meaningful citizen participation.
Coordinate engagement with the UN Global Dialogue, AI Summits, AI for Good, UNESCO, OECD and the IGF.
A sample of the participatory processes our founding partners have run or documented — citizen assemblies, deliberative polls and public engagement on AI, gathered in the PAVE Case Book.
An ecosystem of deliberations on AI, based on a multistakeholder coalition.
Bringing public deliberation into international AI governance processes.
Research and case studies on the state of the art in participatory AI.
Infrastructure and standards for digital self-governance.
Community-rooted engagement on technology's impact on daily life.
Additional partners join as the Hub grows — see Join the network below.
Formation of the Hub, founding partners onboard, governance and mapping of existing initiatives. First annual convening.
Expansion of membership across all regions. Shared resources, common principles, joint engagement with AI governance processes.
Consolidation as a recognized global coordination space. Strengthened collaboration mechanisms and collective visibility.
Review of achievements, long-term sustainability strategy, and a global assessment of citizen participation in AI governance.
Civil society organizations, academic institutions, governments, international organizations, philanthropic actors and technology companies are all welcome. Tell us about your work and we'll follow up.
