The AI2050 Early Career Fellows program supports bold and ambitious work on difficult challenges as well as promising opportunities in AI. Fellows receive funding plus non-monetary support, such as connections to stakeholders to help them amplify impact. The program selects 15-20 early-career researchers around the world annually through a rigorous process. Research is framed by the central question: 'It's 2050. AI has turned out to be hugely beneficial to society. What happened?' Recent cohorts have included researchers across computer science, philosophy, economics, political science, earth sciences, and humanities working on AI safety, AI policy, fairness, AI for science, sociotechnical AI, and human-AI interaction. The 2025 round awarded $18M across 25 fellows.

The Sony Research Award Program is Sony's principal academic collaboration instrument, and the Focused Research Award track funds joint work between university faculty and Sony Research on a published list of specific problems rather than open-ended investigator-defined topics. The 2026 cycle carries ten focus areas, most of which sit squarely in modern AI: internal mechanisms of multimodal generative models for content creation, knowledge representation and reasoning for graph-based modelling, psychology-informed user modelling for content streaming, post-training of speech language models, AI-powered visual technology, digital human content creation for sports, provenance proofs for AI-generated derivative content, and long-term memory for sequential decision-making in gaming. Awards are up to 150,000 dollars per year for a one-year research period with possible renewal, paid as a single all-inclusive sum. Because the tracks are tightly specified, the decisive factor in a competitive proposal is demonstrable alignment with the named focus area and with the Sony research group that owns it - a strong proposal against an adjacent problem generally does worse than a merely good proposal against the stated one. Eligibility is restricted to full-time professors or researchers qualified to supervise PhD students; adjunct faculty and professors emeritus are excluded. The 2026 application deadline is 15 September 2026.
