The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) is pleased to announce it has joined as a member of the AI Adoption Initiative (AIAI). This global effort, launched in February 2025 alongside the France AI Action Summit, fosters collaboration among experts across sectors to develop national strategies that accelerate AI integration and unlock economic opportunities.

SIIA has long advocated for policies that support AI-driven innovation while ensuring a balanced approach. As AI adoption becomes a defining factor in economic and geopolitical competitiveness, businesses, governments, and institutions must work together to create environments that enable AI’s transformative potential.

Through our participation in AIAI, SIIA will contribute its expertise in policy, industry engagement, and digital transformation to help shape strategies that empower businesses, workers, and governments to leverage AI effectively. We look forward to working alongside AIAI’s diverse network of technology leaders, researchers, and policymakers to advance practical solutions that drive innovation, enhance productivity, and strengthen global competitiveness.
