Why this is on the board
European governments are now settling how they deal with AI, and whoever supplies them with worked-out arguments and concrete proposals helps determine which way that goes — for example, whether fully autonomous, general AI becomes the norm or smaller, more manageable systems instead. In this role you write those proposals; the decision lies with policymakers, but one well-founded argument can end up in rules that apply to millions of people.
About the role
Lead strategy for a pro-human AI path and turn it into policy-ready recommendations.

What do you make of this?
The board is still in beta, so this is exactly the moment to say what you think. A vacancy we have missed, a judgement you do not share, something that does not work — all of it helps.
