About Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center - AGI Governance Fellowship
Humanity is developing AI systems that instantiate a growing range of human cognitive capabilities, at human-level or greater. These powerful AI systems will challenge the foundations of governance and human collective life. We must not only adapt our existing governance institutions and models to the speed, scale, and sometimes superhuman capabilities of AI; we must develop new institutions calibrated to these new kinds of agents. This requires deep socially- and technically-grounded work that revisits the foundations of collective governance, and reorients them to the challenge of AGI. A new fellowship at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Government and Policy, led by Professors Gillian Hadfield, Seth Lazar, and Nicholas Caputo, has been launched to shape the next generation of leaders in AGI Governance.
Benefits of Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center - AGI Governance Fellowship
- Travel to DC, as well as accommodation and meals/incidentals, will be funded by the fellowship.

Guests will be drawn from frontier labs, government, academia and civil society.
- The program will conclude with a set of group projects focused on materially contributing to AGI governance—illustrative examples would include prototype civic agents to support democratic decision-making; model legislation to address challenges posed by recursive self-improvement of AI systems; novel evaluations of LLM capabilities; a schema for using AI agents to advance AGI governance itself.
