AI Governance Fellowship
A structured, cohort-based programme for emerging policy practitioners. 12 weeks. Part-time. You leave with published work, a powerful network, and the knowledge to lead.
Curriculum
What policymakers actually need to understand about how AI systems work, their capabilities, and their limitations. No CS degree required — but no hand-waving either.
Comparative analysis of how different jurisdictions govern AI. EU AI Act, US executive orders, UK pro-innovation approach, China's framework. What works, what doesn't, and why.
Labour market impacts, competition dynamics, industrial policy, and distributional consequences. The economics of the AI transition and who wins and loses.
Dual-use considerations, compute geopolitics, allied coordination, and defence applications. The strategic dimension of AI governance.
Practical workshop on writing effective policy briefs and consultation responses. Fellows produce a capstone brief published by the Exchange. Real output, real audience.
Who should apply
Working in or transitioning into government, think tanks, or regulators. You understand policy but want deeper AI fluency.
Engineers, product managers, or researchers who want to engage with the governance side. You build technology and want to shape how it's governed.
From journalism, law, civil society, international affairs, or academia. You bring a unique perspective and want to develop AI governance expertise.
2–10 years experience. UK-based or UK-focused. Deliberately cross-sector.
What you leave with
Your capstone brief is published by the Exchange — a real portfolio piece for your career.
15 peers from tech, policy, civil service, and academia — the people who'll shape AI governance alongside you.
The technical literacy, governance knowledge, and policy communication skills to lead on AI governance in any context.
Lifetime access to the Exchange community, events, and the growing fellowship alumni network.
