The Multistakeholder Approaches to Participation in AI Governance (MAP-AI) initiative was launched by the Global Network Initiative (GNI) and the Centre for Communication Governance (CCG) at National Law University Delhi in 2025, with the immediate goal of enhancing multistakeholder engagement and civil society impact at the India AI Impact Summit, hosted by the Government of India in New Delhi in February 2026 (see below for more details on our Impact Summit programming).
The broader objective of MAP-AI is to foster meaningful and effective multistakeholder engagement across a range of critical AI governance-focused convenings, processes, and initiatives, with a particular focus on elevating underrepresented voices and perspectives. Building on our activities in India, the initiative will continue to facilitate multistakeholder engagement, synthesize lessons learned, and publish insights to inform future international AI governance efforts.
