World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos Global Council for Responsible AI

At the 56th World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos between 19–23 January 2026 , the Global Council for Responsible AI officially unveiled GRAICE™ (Global Responsible AI Compliance & Ethics). It is designed as humanity’s operating system for AI. Introduced to global leaders and policymakers, GRAICE moves Responsible AI from principle to practice, integrating ethics, governance, compliance, and human-centric design into a unified, scalable framework. 

The framework is an integrated system rather than a collection of policies that are simple and repeatable.

• Foundational values established non-negotiable ethical and human centred boundaries
• Seven pillars translate values into operational requirements
• Assurance tears verify that requirements are met with evidence
• Governance structures assign accountability and decision authority

 The six foundational grounded values are  

• Human dignity and autonomy
• Accountability and governance 
• Fairness and justice
• Transparency an explain ability
• Reliability and security
• Inclusivity and social benefits

And the seven pillars for responsible AI define what responsibly I must achieve in practise

• Ethical leadership
• purpose driven innovation
• Human centric use
• responsible implementation
• AI literacy and workforce readiness
• Data governance and integrity
