Convergence Fellowship Program
AGI Economic Policy Fellowship: Spring 2025
A 12-week intensive research program focused on designing economic policy research for the upcoming economic transformation driven by advanced AI systems.
Working in small teams across seven topics, fellows produced seminal research addressing critical policy questions on taxation, supply chains, legal rights, economic modeling, public utilities, and more.
This fellowship aims to fill a crucial gap in economic policy research and kickstart the international conversation on how societies should respond to the upcoming labor market transformations from the adoption of AGI systems.
