As a global law firm, we partner with organizations and institutions around the world to explore and advise on the use, development, and management of this revolutionary technology."

The consortium includes more than 200 member companies and organizations that are on the frontlines of developing and using AI systems, as well as the civil society and academic teams that are building the foundational understanding of how AI can and will transform society. 

Advanced AI systems and hardware
