The Bellagio Center Convening Program/

Governance and Responsible Use of AI Convenings

We are no longer accepting applications for the 2024 Bellagio Center Convening Program.

The Governance and Responsible Use of AI theme is targeted towards applicants who are dedicated to advancing the good governance and responsible use of artificial intelligence through their work. Examples of what this might entail, include:

  • Academics advancing research and scholarship on artificial intelligence and ethics, governance, and policy
  • Leaders who aim to build coalitions, governance frameworks, launch new organizations and products, catalyze new investment mechanisms and more, which will address this pressing issue
  • Policymakers who aim to build governance frameworks, coalitions, and more, which address pressing issue
  • Practitioners, who are creating technical and educational tools, working ‘on the ground’ and on the frontlines of this issue in communities globally, whose work necessitates an environment for deep thinking on approaches and avenues to impact

We welcome a diverse range of profiles for applicants in this theme. However, all Governance and Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence applications will be required to address the theme in a direct and deliberate way.
