Center for Humane Technology (CHT) is currently accepting applications for its Emerging Voices in AI and Society Fellowship 2026. Interested applicants are encouraged to click here to learn more about this opportunity and apply for it.
Center for Humane Technology (CHT) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to realign the most consequential technologies with humanity’s best interests. CHT works to make sense of how consequential technologies are impacting society — and what can be done about it. We interpret and bring clarity to a fast-moving landscape, raise the questions that technology forces us to confront, and connect day-to-day harms to the deeper systemic incentives driving them. Our role is not just to sound the alarm, but to elevate the conversation, shaping the urgent ideas of our time, and to advance solutions so that people feel equipped to act.
Fellows will receive a $30,000 stipend based on the completion of key milestones for the program. Additionally, fellows will receive:
Bi-weekly guidance from the Senior Director of Strategy and Impact
Light support from CHT's Research Team
Editorial, communications, and graphic design support across deliverables
Media training and media placement support via CHT's PR agency
A CHT email address and access to select CHT Slack channels for the duration of the fellowship
