AI Policy Leaders Programme

The rules for AI are being written right now. Will you be in the room?

The next few years are pivotal for how advanced artificial intelligence will be developed and governed, and whether Europe will be a live actor in shaping that future. This rapidly evolving landscape requires a diverse and experienced pool of people who can build meaningful European influence over AI governance and ensure advanced AI development remains safe and aligned with human values.

The Talos Network Policy Leaders Programme is built for people who have spent years building expertise, credibility, and networks, and who are ready to bring that experience to bear on the defining policy challenge of our time.

Your career has been building to this moment

The programme puts experienced professionals directly in the rooms where important decisions are shaped, working with actors across European institutions, governments, industry, and civil society to strengthen the governance of advanced AI.

You might be a good fit for the programme if:

• You have at least 8 years of experience in high-stakes environments (government, international organisations, think tanks, industry, or academia) and a strong track record of influencing or interacting with senior decision-makers

• You're either looking to transition into AI governance, or to bring a stronger AI dimension into your existing work
