Patrick J. McGovern Foundation

As artificial intelligence (AI) systems increasingly move from providing information to making decisions and carrying out tasks on behalf of consumers, the frameworks that will govern how these systems operate are still being formed. This creates an important opportunity to ensure consumer interests are reflected before approaches become embedded in standards, policies and market practices.  

We are collaborating with the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, a philanthropy dedicated to advancing AI and data science solutions that create a thriving, equitable and sustainable future, to work with consumer organisations, policymakers, standards bodies, technical experts and industry partners to bring consumer perspectives into the development of agentic AI.  

Through this work, we aim to strengthen consumer representation in AI governance, build the capacity of our global network to engage in emerging AI policy debates, and help ensure these technologies evolve in ways that are transparent, accountable and beneficial for consumers.
