AI for Think Tanks and Advocacy Organizations Co-Learning Program
Across the world, think tanks and advocacy groups are navigating how to engage with AI—balancing urgency with uncertainty, and opportunity with risk. But with limited time and resources, innovation can feel out of reach.
Our Co-Learning Program creates space for reflection, learning, and strategic action. We don’t just share knowledge—we help each participating organization build a tailored AI agent to support its mission.
Now in its fourth edition, the program has supported over 60 participants from 20 organizations across the U.S., Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. It blends cutting-edge content, peer exchange, and hands-on support to equip professionals to lead responsible, human-centered AI integration.
In a moment of rapid change, we invite you to pause and choose with purpose. Limited spots available for our next cohort.
Program Structure
The program offers:
- Expert-led workshops on AI fundamentals, responsible and strategic integration and applications for research, communications, and management.
