A collaborative database of government contacts responsible for AI policy, supporting civil society engagement with international AI governance processes.
Driving first usecase is the India AI Impact summit: I want a resource AI safety orgs can collaboratively use to identify delegates.
International AI summits (Bletchley → Seoul → Paris → India 2026) bring together government delegations to discuss AI governance. Civil society organizations seeking to engage with these processes face a common challenge: identifying the right contacts in each country's AI policy apparatus.
This project aims to build and maintain a shared resource tracking:
- Ministry/department contacts for AI policy in GPAI member states
- Summit participation history (who signed what)
- National AI Safety Institutes where they exist
- Key individuals involved in international AI governance
🚧 Building - Systematic country-by-country research in progress
| Category | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GPAI Members | 44 | Full list, contacts in progress |
| Countries with contacts | TBD | Updated as research proceeds |
| AI Safety Institutes tracked | ~10 | UK, US, Japan, Canada, France, etc. |
We welcome contributions! See METHODOLOGY.md for research guidelines.

The canonical data lives in data/contacts.json. A human-readable spreadsheet is generated at data/contacts.xlsx.
Please use responsibly. This resource is for professional policy engagement, not spam. Contacts listed are in their official government capacity.
This project is maintained by PauseAI. We encourage other AI governance organizations to contribute and use this resource.
TBD - considering CC-BY-SA for data, MIT for scripts.
