Martin Tisné leads the AI Collaborative, an initiative of The Omidyar Group created to help govern and build artificial intelligence based on democratic values and principles. He was appointed Thematic Envoy to the AI Action Summit held in February 2025 in France and founded the Public Interest AI Partnership Current AI as one of the key deliverables of the Summit.

Martin brings over 15 years of investment and leadership experience to his role, including advising several heads of state on AI policy, serving as a board member of the Partnership on AI, and helping establish two multi-stakeholder initiatives and three NGOs.

He founded the Open Government Partnership (OGP) alongside the Obama White House and helped OGP grow to a 70+ country initiative. He also initiated the International Open Data Charter, the G7 Open Data Charter, and the G20’s commitment to open data principles.

As a philanthropic entrepreneur, Martin helped set up AINow, the Ethics & Governance of AI Fund, the AWO agency, Digital Action, and Reset amongst other initiatives.

Before his appointment as CEO of the AI Collaborative in September 2023, Martin was vice president of the global philanthropic organisation Luminate, leading efforts to address global digital threats to democracy through policy change, campaigns, partnerships, and litigation.
