Write for the Cosmos Institute
We’re offering $1,000 each for essays around 2,000 words in length to be published on our Substack. Our team is interested in writing about how AI can support human flourishing, organized around five core themes:
- Truth-seeking: the ability to inquire openly and correct our errors
- Human autonomy: the cultivated capacity for self-direction
- Decentralization: systems that resist coercion, capture, and control
- History: the intellectual origins of technology, especially AI
- Philosophy and AI: applying philosophical ideas to AI development
- Please share links to 1-3 samples of your writing. Public writing is preferred but not essential. Please share a Google Doc with article text for non-public writing.
- Pitch us your article. Please share three short paragraphs summarizing the argument of your article. If we think it could be a good fit, we will ask you for an outline made up of one page of bullet points.
