Aim: The Open Phil AI Fellowship is a fellowship for full-time PhD students focused on artificial intelligence or machine learning. With this program, we seek to fully support a small group of the most promising PhD students in AI and ML who are interested in making the long-term, large-scale impacts of AI a central focus of their research.
Fellows will be selected based on their academic excellence, technical knowledge, and interest in increasing the probability of positive outcomes from transformative AI. The AI Fellows have a broad mandate to think through which kinds of AI and ML research are likely to be most valuable, to share ideas and form a community with like-minded students and professors, and ultimately to act in the way that they think is most likely to improve outcomes from progress in AI.
The Open Phil AI Fellowship is open to students interested in any research topic within AI.
Funding: Fellows receive a $40,000 stipend, $10,000 in research support, and payment of tuition and fees, each year, starting in the year of their selection until the end of the 5th year of their PhD.
Eligibility: The Open Phil AI Fellowship is open to full-time AI and machine learning students in any year of their PhD, to undergraduate seniors applying to AI or ML PhD programs, and to students transferring to an AI/ML PhD from another field. The program is open to applicants in any country. Students with pre-existing funding sources are welcome to apply.
How to Apply: Applications can be submitted via an online platform provided by Open Philanthropy. Applications must include a personal research statement (<2 page), a CV, and up to three letters of recommendation.
Deadline: 25 October 2019 (11:59 PM Pacific time)
