Description
The FIG Fellowship with Yoshua Bengio offers a unique, part-time remote opportunity to co-author impactful research on AI safety and governance alongside Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio and senior leaders at Mila.
- Collaborate directly with Yoshua Bengio on one of three high-impact research projects: AI insurance and liability, AI-driven concentration of power, or military AI and safety risks.
- Produce academic-style policy reports aimed at influencing global AI governance, with outputs co-authored by Bengio.
- Benefit from structured supervision, research sprints, and collaborative sessions with FIG and Mila.
- 12-week commitment, ~10+ hours per week, open to candidates from diverse backgrounds (insurance, economics, defense policy, etc.); strong AI background is helpful but not required.
If these projects don’t match your skills, you can submit an expression of interest for future fellowship rounds.
