- AI Auditing Regimes: How should model access decisions be made, and what institutions should make them?
- AI Industry Cooperation: How can AI firms cooperate for the public benefit?
The successful candidate will be a member of a newly formed research group. Specific projects will be determined in collaboration with the Initiative team based on Initiative needs and the post-holder’s interests and areas of expertise.
