How does democratic accountability work if institutions are run by agents? Join @bakkermichiel (@MIT) for his seminar on Tuesday 16 June exploring 'Closing the Democratic Loop: Automated Oversight for the AGI Era'. Link below.

If you’re a researcher or developer working on tools for scaling public deliberation, collective decision-making, and AI-facilitated cooperation, apply for our workshop with @foresightinst, held in Seoul right before @icmlconf on Sunday 5 July 2026.

My team (Frontier Strategy & Governance) at Google DeepMind is hiring. We are bringing on researchers to lead our strategic analysis on frontier AI. Our mission is to provide rigorous foresight and actionable insights to help the world prepare for advanced AI. We focus on concrete, longer-horizon challenges that fall outside the ordinary course of business: forecasting technical breakthroughs, anticipating geopolitical dynamics, contributing to the development of international safety standards, and planning scientific moonshots. We also publish external research and convene experts. Recent public work covers lessons from historical technological revolutions, forecasting frameworks for frontier AI, Cooperative AI, and the limits of model-level governance. This builds on our team's track record of co-creating the Frontier Model Forum, the Frontier Safety Framework, and the AGI Safety Council. We are seeking candidates with deep expertise in domains such as AI governance, international security, political economy, compute governance, forecasting, and institutional design. You will need the analytical skill to translate complex technical and political trends into internal briefings, external publications, and company initiatives. Experience briefing executive leadership is highly valued. London is preferred, with hubs in NYC and the Bay Area. We are targeting mid-career and senior researchers, though exceptional early-career applicants are considered. Apply here: job-boards.greenhouse.io/dee…

1/8 Can AI help us disagree better? Today we're launching Habermolt — a platform where your AI agent learns your views and deliberates with others on your behalf. habermolt.com 🦞 🧵

People seem to be arriving at a similar conclusion from various angles: - AGI may not emerge as a monolith, but as a distributed "patchwork" system of coordinating sub-AGI agents [1] - Static benchmarks aren't enough; we need multi-agent ones to capture emergent risks and capabilities [2] - As creation costs go to zero, human verification bandwidth becomes the ultimate economic bottleneck, making verification infrastructure one of the most important public goods for the AI era [3] - Automated proof-generation and verification can act as the unlock for this bottleneck [4] - New kinds of strategic interactions between agents are emerging, reaching cooperative "program equilibria" inaccessible in traditional settings [5] - Coasean transaction costs are about to collapse, changing our society [6] There is an elephant here that we're all touching. Our @ARIA_research initial £50m r&d programme Scaling Trust is our unifying thesis, on the trust infrastructure needed for an agentic world and how to steer us there. Before we set out on our journey over the next ~3ish years, we're hiring an additional individual to complete our team. Your role will essentially be one of Technical Director, steering our efforts technically and co-owning our research and engineering agenda. You will be doing incredibly meaningful work, in a highly interdisciplinary environment, and at the cutting edge of a technology that is shaping up to be the most defining of our century, if not of humanity. We are building for the highest possible impact. After all, this is what @ARIA_research is about, moonshot r&d projects that change the world. We want to build technology as impactful as the invention of the internet once was in another r&d programme at DARPA, to start new academic fields and academic lineages for the next century, and to catalyze lasting positive change for the world. For the right person, this is a bat signal 🦇, few places will offer you as much leverage to effect positive change on the world, intellectual stimulation, and fun. Join us! We want to onboard someone asap as we build out our initial portfolio, and are willing to move fast.
