Exploring public participation in commercial AI labs

This paper discusses the use of public participation in the development, deployment and governance of commercial artificial intelligence systems.

This resource delves into key findings from interviews with industry practitioners and public engagement experts.

Researchers within commercial labs tend to view participation methods as a way of ensuring their technologies are beneficial to society, but there is a lack of terminology and standards for the application of these methods in artificial intelligence. The report also further dives into implications for public participation practitioners who are interested in successfully using public participation in commercial AI labs.
