What is the Accelerator Fellowship?

It is a 6- or 12-month fellowship at the University of Oxford's Institute for Ethics in AI, part of the Faculty of Philosophy, for established professionals and academics working on responsible and ethical AI with real-world impact. Fellows can hold the fellowship remotely or in person in Oxford. It is designed to accelerate work that connects rigorous ethical thinking with practical influence on how AI is built and governed.

What does the fellowship offer?

The fellowship provides a stipend of £2,000 per month, economy airfare to and from the UK, and coverage of visa costs. It is important to note that this is not an employed position at the university — it is a funded fellowship. The programme is open to applicants worldwide, and proficiency in English is required.
