Digital Minds Fellowship Details

The Digital Minds Fellowship is an intensive programme for individuals interested in making significant contributions to research on AI consciousness, AI welfare, and the societal implications of digital minds.

Unlike more established fields such as AI safety and governance, digital minds research is still nascent.

This creates unique challenges: identifying promising research questions is harder, career paths are less clear, and the community is smaller. The fellowship is designed to address these challenges directly.

Fellows will develop foundational knowledge spanning both the technical realities of current AI systems and philosophical frameworks for thinking about consciousness and moral status.

Together, fellows will think strategically about long-term trajectories, identify intervention points, and evaluate where effort is best directed. Fellows will also focus on scoping good projects in a field where this is particularly difficult.

Individuals from all level of education are qualified for the fellowship.

Digital Minds Fellowship Benefits

The Digital Minds Fellowship 2026 offers participants:

  • Expert Mentorship
  • Workshops
  • Accommodation 
  • Monthly Stipend up to $1,366

Programmes Structure for Digital Minds Fellowship

For the 2026 Digital Minds Fellowship, three modules combining taught sessions, group discussions, working sessions, and presentations.;

  • Philosophical & Technical Foundations

This module provides technical grounding in AI cognition and LLM architectures, alongside philosophical frameworks for evaluating consciousness and moral status. Fellows will leave able to apply these frameworks to real systems.

Topics May Include:

    • LLM architecture fundamentals: transformers, attention mechanisms, training paradigms
    • What current architectures might (and might not) imply for cognition and experience
    • Existing proposals for welfare interventions
    • Key uncertainties and open questions in the field
  • Societal Implications & Strategy

This module develops foresight and intervention-oriented thinking. Fellows will leave with skills in scenario planning, an understanding of the societal intervention landscape, and a sense of where effort might be most valuable.

Topics May Include:

    • Scenario planning: mapping plausible trajectories for digital minds through ~2100
    • Identifying risks, decision points, and branching futures
    • Intervention design: messaging strategies, policy frameworks, institutional approaches
    • Public communication and stakeholder engagement
    • Group exercise: develop scenarios, identify key risks, and propose interventions
  • Project Scooping and Career Planning

Building on pre-programme mentor conversations, this module focuses on developing well-scoped, high-quality project ideas and clear next steps. The primary goal is building the skill of identifying and shaping good projects in the digital minds space.

Fellows Will Learn:

    • What questions matter and why
    • What is feasible given current knowledge and resources
    • Where the genuine gaps are in the field
    • How to match skills and interests to high-impact opportunities
    • How to develop an idea from initial concept to concrete, actionable plan

Fellows Will Leave With:

    • A clearly articulated project idea or research agenda
    • A rough plan for how it could be pursued after the fellowship
    • An understanding of what support or partnerships would be needed
