“Support Talos’ AI policy placements: The talent pipeline for European AI Governance” by DavidConrad

TL;DR Talos Network trains and places the next generation of European AI governance talent. We have a strong track record: Between 2022 and 2025, 70% (58 / 83) of Talos Alumni successfully transitioned to roles directly contributing to advanced AI policy and safety. Our fellows shape policy: Our fellows now work across the EU AI Office, UK AISI, OECD, think tanks like RAND Europe and CEPS, and national parliaments. AI policy organisations value our work: In a 2025 survey of AI safety organisation hiring needs by 80,000 Hours, Talos was highlighted as a top source of new AI policy talent, ranking ahead of several long-established organisations.

The Unit Cost: Every €20,000 supports one 6-month placement in a European institution shaping the future of AI. These include Ada Lovelace Institute, Center for Democracy and Technology, Centre for European Policy Studies, Centre for Future Generations, European Policy Centre, Future of Life Institute, The Future Society, Interface, OECD.AI, Open Markets Institute, Pour Demain, SaferAI and Simon Institute among [...] ---Outline:(00:14) TL;DR(01:59) What Talos Does(04:24) Our Track Record(05:19) Why We're Fundraising (The Counterfactual)(06:25) Why Europe Matters Now(07:13) 2026.
