Applications are open for the Better Futures Fellowship, a nine-week, part-time program for people exploring whether better-futures work should become a greater part of their studies, careers, or projects.
Better-futures work asks how humanity can achieve a flourishing long-term future if it successfully navigates advanced AI and other major risks. This application round follows up on the expression of interest shared earlier this summer and draws on research from the Forethought Institute’s Better Futures series.
The Fellowship combines five weeks of facilitated discussion with a four-week guided project phase.
Core topics include:
During the project phase, each fellow will develop a concrete research or field-building output based on an important question or gap identified during the course.
