Our vision for Inclusive AI is that equality and inclusion are intentionally built into how AI is governed, designed, developed, implemented, accessed and used, shaping a fairer future for all.
The rapid acceleration in the development and use of AI is already reshaping decisions, work and opportunity. This is a rare moment to take leadership action, ensuring gender equality and inclusion are built in from the outset.
We invite you to join the movement for Inclusive AI.
Background to the Inclusive AI Pledge
In 2012, Champions of Change, in partnership with the Women’s Leadership Institute Australia (WLIA) and Chief Executive Women, pioneered the Panel Pledge to ensure women’s voices were heard and valued in public forums. That initiative demonstrated how a simple leadership action could transform and elevate women’s visibility, voice and representation.
Today, as artificial intelligence (AI) is used to support communication, decision-making and design processes, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leverage AI to help embed equality and inclusion into everything we say, do and deliver.
The Champions of Change Inclusive AI Pledge involves using very specific gender equal and inclusive prompting whenever you interact with generative AI tools.
Like the Panel Pledge, the Inclusive AI Pledge turns intent into everyday leadership action. It sets clear expectations for how AI is governed, designed, developed, implemented, accessed and used so equality and inclusion are built in from the outset, not added later.
Join us in using AI to build a more gender equal, inclusive, fair, safe and respectful future by supporting the Inclusive AI Pledge.
What is the Inclusive AI Prompt?
The Inclusive AI Prompt is a practical leadership tool developed by Champions of Change. It draws on more than 15 years of expertise in advancing inclusive gender equality across workplaces, systems and decision-making.
It is informed by extensive testing and application across 100+ real-world scenarios, spanning policy, procurement, communications, product and system design. The Prompt translates the Coalition’s proven frameworks into a clear, accessible, and repeatable way for leaders and teams to use AI responsibly, ensuring it strengthens, rather than undermines, gender equality. It also applies Plan International’s Gender Compass messaging guide so you can share your vision and convey your message to a much broader audience.
The Inclusive AI Prompt encourages AI output that:
- Builds inclusive gender equality into your work by design, not as an afterthought.
- Strengthens inclusivity and avoid unintended bias.
- Helps ensure credibility and trust with diverse stakeholders.
About the Inclusive AI Practical Guide
Leading on Inclusive AI: A practical guide brings together actions and emerging practice shared by Champions of Change Members.
The Practical guide is for organisations at different stages of AI adoption, from those beginning to consider it’s use to those developing and deploying AI systems. The guide outlines actions across five key areas where leadership can change the default trajectory of AI transformations in workplaces.
It is a first edition, shared now so others can use it, test it, adapt it and help strengthen future practice.
The guide will be made available on Tuesday 20 October 2026.
