What is it about?

AI Governance is a thriving field for navigating cutting-edge AI models responsibly.

Through the EA SAIS AI Governance Fellowship, you can explore the nascent field of AI Governance, prevalent policy ideas about how to regulate AI, and its implications for domestic and international policy.

In this field, there is a growing demand for expertise, knowledge production, and thought leadership. You will learn about the technical background of cutting-edge AI models & technical challenges, potential extreme risks from AI, impactful policy tools, the impacts of international competition & cooperation, and career opportunities in this field.

This comprehensive syllabus is created by a governance expert at OpenAI.

Fellowship Structure

Each session of the program has a section of Required Materials and sometimes an exercise, which you are expected to complete in advance of the weekly meeting to help you get the most out of the program and give a better experience to your peers.

We think that the Required Materials take most people about 1-2 hours to get through, and the exercise another 30-60 minutes. We have matched the readings and exercises so that, in total, we think it will take around 1 hour per week to prepare for the session.

The exercises help you put the concepts from the reading into practice.

Approximate reading times are given for each of the Required Materials. Generally, we’d prefer you to take your time and think through the readings instead of rushing.
