About

Talos Network is an independent talent development organisation for AI policy careers in Europe. We aim to reduce risks posed by current and future models by supplying expertise to organisations working on AI policy.

As AI systems progress, they could pose major risk to society. Researchers could lose control over advanced AI systems, malicious actors could weaponize this technology, and a deluge of persuasive misinformation could undermine democracy. Given the rate of progress here, our institutions required well-informed decision-makers to ensure that AI remains safe and trustworthy.

We aim to provide this expertise, supporting knowledgeable individuals to pursue AI policy careers in Europe. We supply the policy leaders of tomorrow with the training and experience that they need to ensure AI systems are deployed in a trustworthy manner, while protecting against risks.
