Why this is on the board
What you produce here is not one-off advice but a test: you turn your knowledge of philosophy, law or economics into questions Anthropic uses to measure how well Claude reasons where no single clear answer exists. Such a test can count again with every new model version, so your judgement helps shape what a widely used AI system learns, though you are one contributor among many and the fellowship lasts four months.
About the role
A four-month fellowship for experts to work with Anthropic researchers on improving Claude’s reasoning in their field.

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.
Want to understand this first?
Start with our free course: about 100 minutes in six short units, at your own pace, with no sign-up. To go further, apply for the EA Fellowship: five weeks of reading and discussion in a small group. Also free, but selective.
