Your paragraph on the Brussels effect was remarkably similar to the main research proposal in my FHI research scholar application that I hastily wrote, but didn’t finish before the deadline.
The Brussels effect it strikes me as one of the best levers available to Europeans looking to influence global AI governance. It seems to me that better understanding how international law such as the Geneva conventions came to be, will shed light on the importance of diplomatic third parties in negotiations between super powers.
I have been pursuing this project on my own time, figuring that if I didn’t, nobody would. How can I make my output the most useful to someone at FHI wanting to know about this?
That’s exciting to hear! Is your plan still to head into EU politics for this reason? (not sure I’m remembering correctly!)
To make it maximally helpful, you’d work with someone at FHI in putting it together. You could consider applying for the GovAI Fellowship once we open up applications. If that’s not possible (we do get a lot more good applications than we’re able to take on) getting plenty of steer /​ feedback seems helpful (you can feel to send it past myself). I would recommend spending a significant amount of time making sure the piece is clearly written, such that someone can quickly grasp what you’re saying and whether it will be relevant to their interests.
In addition to Markus’ suggestion that you could consider applying to the GovAI fellowship, you could also considering applying for a researcher role at GovAI. Deadline is October 19th.
(I don’t mean to imply that the only way to do this is to be at FHI. I don’t believe that that’s the case. I just wanted to mention that option, since Markus had mentioned a different position but not that one.)
