position description

The Senior Fellow, Global Programs, will lead a tightly scoped, policy-responsive workstream at the intersection of AI, industrial policy, and global political economy; building on AI Now’s existing research on AI nationalism and translating it into a directed research and policy agenda.

The terrain around “AI sovereignty” is rapidly being reshaped by an aggressive US industrial policy batting for AI companies in foreign markets, the proliferation of Chinese open-source models, and responses from Nations around the world that range from resignation to going on the offensive as they grapple with the tech oligarchy’s global impact. The result is a global discourse around AI sovereignty is increasingly technocratic and geopolitically framed, undermining the serious consequences for the public impacted by how these technologies are deployed and the consolidations of power they drive.

The role has three intertwined functions. First, it will shape a responsive workstream that bridges US domestic and international AI policy, taking AI Now’s existing work forward into a directed research and policy program. Second, it will identify and pursue real levers to build public interest presence and influence in these debates, in both US policy venues and high-level global fora. Third, the Senior Fellow will strengthen and grow AI Now’s global partnerships and research network, with special emphasis on building relationships and collaborative capacity outside the US and EU.
