AI×Animals Fellowship

AI×Animals is an 8-week program preparing learners for impactful careers at the intersection of AI and animal welfare. As part of the fellowship, learners will join an industry-leading community working at the forefront of AI and sentient welfare for expert-facilitated weekly discussions following our curated curriculum. If you are excited to ensure the future of AI is positive for all beings, regardless of species, we encourage you to apply!

Learn more and apply to be a learner (deadline: October 8) or facilitator (deadline: September 17).

Prioritizing Neglected Animals Fellowship

Prioritizing Neglected Animals explores how to make the biggest difference for animal welfare—both now and in the long-term future. Through this 7-week program, fellows will learn key principles for prioritizing interventions across species and contexts using evidence-based tools, including scope-sensitive frameworks, sentience-focused moral weights, and methods for quantifying negative welfare by time and intensity. Fellows will engage in expert-facilitated weekly discussions following our curated curriculum, applying these frameworks to some of the most neglected groups—fish, shrimp, insects, wild animals, and even speculative future animal markets. If this mission sounds exciting to you, we encourage you to apply!

Learn more and apply to be a learner (deadline: September 15) or facilitator (deadline: September 23).

Please share these opportunities with anyone you know who might be a good fit! (That is, anyone looking to make the future go well for all who feel! We expect fellows to come from a variety of backgrounds, including the animal welfare movement, AI industry, governance, academia, and others.)
