Summary: Supports individuals combining AI expertise and deep philosophic insight to explore how we live well with AI.
The Cosmos Fellowship supports individuals with the potential for world-class AI expertise and deep philosophic insight. Run by Cosmos Institute, it forms part of an effort to build infrastructure for researchers and thinkers exploring how we live well with AI. Its research focuses on how AI systems interact with human autonomy, shape the conditions under which knowledge is produced, and influence institutional and social arrangements that facilitate self-governance.
Cosmos works closely with Oxford University's Human-Centered AI Lab, practitioners at the frontier of AI, leading academics, and thinkers on AI and society. Fellows gain access to a vetted network of builders and thinkers at the intersection of AI and philosophy. The program encourages both experienced researchers and promising junior talent.
