> Are you a humanities or social science researcher, interested in understanding, challenging, and reshaping current policies around generative AI? Would you like to be part of a virtual collective of researchers working on AI and society? Have you ever wanted to spend time at another university as a Visiting Fellow, but financial constraints, visa restrictions, teaching, caring responsibilities, or disability have prevented you from doing so?

> We have the answer!  DISC (Digital Society Research Group), Manchester Metropolitan University, UK and the CDEP (Center for Digital Ethics & Policy), Loyola University, Chicago, US are launching a collaborative Virtual Visiting Fellowship initiative designed to be internationally welcoming.  The Virtual Fellowship takes place over the period of several months. We are inviting Visiting Fellows to spend time with us online, synchronously and asynchronously, by presenting your work and attending our online events, connecting to other DISC and CDEP researchers and most importantly, contributing to a joint DISC/CDEP Policy Report on Generative AI, leading to a Digital Ethics & Policymaking Summer School. Training opportunities will be provided during the Fellowship.  Fellowship alumni may opt to retain associate and/or affiliate membership with the partnering organisations upon completion of their fellowship terms.
