The rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence is driving significant changes across various sectors, yet the economics of AI remains surprisingly underexplored. To address this gap, the Stripe Economics of AI Fellowship has been established to support foundational academic research in this critical area.
This fellowship invites graduate students and early-career researchers interested in studying the economics of AI to apply, regardless of their prior experience. The initial cohort will consist of 15-20 fellows, forming a vibrant community at the forefront of economic research related to artificial intelligence.
Thematic Areas
While the fellowship encourages research on any aspect of the economics of AI, it particularly seeks to support high-impact studies that:
• Focus on the economics of transformative AI
• Are forward-looking
• Are expected to have durable importance
• Move at a rapid pace
Benefits of Participation
Participating fellows will receive multiple benefits, including:
• A grant of at least $10,000
• Access to a community of like-minded researchers studying the economic implications of AI
• Funding to attend an exclusive conference in San Francisco in early summer 2025, featuring leading economists and technologists in this field
• The opportunity to access unique datasets through Stripe and its customers
Eligibility for Participation
To be considered for the inaugural cohort, applicants must meet the following criteria:
• Be graduate students or early-career researchers (including postdoctoral scholars and assistant professors) in economics
• Researchers from any country are welcome to apply
• Prior experience in AI economics is not mandatory; exceptional candidates without a background in this field, including those from other academic disciplines, are encouraged to apply
• Applicants do not need to have a project proposal submitted with their application
How to Apply
Interested candidates can apply for the Economics of AI Fellowship here. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
This fellowship represents an exciting opportunity for emerging researchers to contribute to the burgeoning field of AI economics. By fostering academic investigation in this area, the Stripe Economics of AI Fellowship aims to pave the way for a deeper understanding of the economic implications of artificial intelligence, driving informed decision-making and policy development in the years to come.
