1. Overview

The G7 AI Network (GAIN) is a collaborative initiative launched by the G7 countries to advance responsible and effective adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the public sector. GAIN brings together government officials, researchers, and practitioners to share knowledge, align on best practices, and accelerate innovation in AI governance and deployment.

GAIN plays a central role in coordinating the Grand Challenge—which will be supported by a series of Rapid Solution Labs (RSL) designed to generate innovative and scalable solutions to public sector AI challenges. These labs are a key component of Canada’s commitment under the G7 Leaders’ Statement on AI for Prosperity, which includes:

• Launching the G7 GovAI Grand Challenge and hosting RSL to address barriers to AI adoption in the public sector.

• Establishing GAIN to develop a roadmap for scaling AI projects and curating a catalogue of open-source, shareable AI solutions.

2. Objectives

GAIN will aim to:

• Support the design and delivery of Rapid Solution Labs across G7 and EU countries.

• Facilitate knowledge exchange on public sector AI implementation.

• Collaborate to ensure AI government solutions produce measurable and real benefits  

3. Membership

GAIN includes public sector AI adoption leads from G7 member states and the European Union.  

As part of this commitment, GAIN members will:  

• Raise awareness of the RSL in the national G7 AI ecosystem.

• Share tools, frameworks, and lessons learned from scaling AI for use in public services.

• Bring forward open and shareable AI solutions to inform the catalogue
