We believe that artificial intelligence, including core methods like machine learning (ML), is foundational and transformative. AI-powered tools, products, and services are used daily by billions of people and organizations worldwide. From everyday tasks to bold, imaginative exploration,
AI can assist, enhance, empower, and inspire people almost anywhere.
AI has the potential to open up new scientific discoveries and address humanity's current and future challenges in areas such as:
• Making information more useful and accessible to more people and places
• Helping individuals and organizations make better decisions and solve problems
• Driving innovation across industries and sectors
• Tackling urgent global challenges like public health crises, natural disasters, climate change, and sustainability
• Identifying and reducing societal bias and structural inequities
• Enabling breakthroughs in science and beyond (e.g., medical diagnosis, drug discovery, climate prediction)

We believe proper AI development requires collective effort. While we don’t know everything, experience shows all participants – researchers, developers, deployers, scholars, civil society, governments, users – must work together to promote responsible AI development in areas including:
• Developing and deploying AI responsibly
• Protecting privacy while benefiting society through data practices
• Strengthening AI infrastructure and cybersecurity
• Encouraging safe beneficial AI innovation
• Establishing accountability mechanisms and standards
• Investing in AI safety, ethics, and social impact research
• Cultivating a diverse, inclusive AI workforce

Beyond our goals, we won't design or deploy AI in these application areas:
1. Technologies likely to cause overall harm
2. Weapons or other technologies designed primarily to harm humans
3. Surveillance technologies violating international norms
4. Technologies contradicting widely accepted international laws and human rights principles
This list may evolve as our experience grows in this domain.
