Nominations Are Open for the 2026 RAI Awards

Hi there,

Nominations are open for the 2026 Leadership in RAI Awards!

Each year these awards recognize the individuals, organizations and public-interest projects that moved responsible AI forward, and we’d like your help choosing this year’s honorees.

👉 Submit your nominations by November 16: Nomination Form

You may nominate in any or all of the following categories:

🏅 Outstanding Individual in Responsible AI Nominate someone whose leadership, research or contributions moved trustworthy AI forward. Please include: name, contact details and why they deserve recognition.

🏢 Outstanding Organization in Responsible AI Recognize an institution that showed real commitment and measurable impact, not just a published policy. Include: organization name, contact details and supporting rationale.

🌍 Outstanding Public Interest Project or Initiative Highlight a project that delivered value to society and the broader RAI ecosystem. Include: project name, key contributors, a 2-3 sentence summary and any relevant links.

It takes a few minutes, and self-nominations are welcome. Honorees will be recognized virtually in December.

Thank you for being an essential part of the Responsible AI Institute community!

Warm regards,
The Responsible AI Institute Team
