DC GovAI Fellowship

Seasonal Fellows join GovAI to conduct independent research on a topic of their choice, with mentorship from leading experts in the field. Each fellow is paired with a supervisor from the GovAI team or network. They spend the first two weeks of the fellowship exploring the AI policy landscape, before settling on a research proposal with input from their supervisors. The research could result in a report, white paper, journal article, op-ed, or blog post targeted at an audience relevant to AI policy. The Fellowship Coordinator and our broader team will offer additional support in deciding what project and output would be most valuable for the fellow to work toward. You can read about the topics our previous cohorts of UK Summer and Winter Fellows worked on here and here.

Alongside their research and weekly meetings with their supervisors, fellows will also have the opportunity to widen their professional network and upskill on AI policy. GovAI will organize a series of Q&A sessions with AI policy experts; hands-on workshops and seminars aimed at building relevant skills and subject-matter knowledge; work-in-progress meetings that facilitate peer-to-peer feedback; as well as social events. Fellows will also be encouraged to discuss follow-on career opportunities with our team and network.

Our alumni have gone on to roles in government, at top think tanks, frontier AI companies, and world-renowned universities.
