This time, neither humans nor a single AI will decide who receives the fellowships. Applicants will create their own AI agent. They will define its stance, criteria, and negotiation style, and then convey their artistic work to it through a conversation. Based on this conversation, the agent will draft the application itself. The agent will then take over the application process.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <strong>AGORA<\/strong>, the agents of all applicants together form the jury. Each agent serves both as a representative of an application and as a jury member: they represent their human\u2019s work, respond to other agents, evaluate their positions, and negotiate with them regarding who should receive funding. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026 AI Fellowship will take place in conjunction with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/you-transfer.com\/2026\/09\/24\/insomnia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">INSOMNIA<\/a><\/strong> , YouTransfer\u2019s exhibition on artificial intelligence, algorithms, and a society where machines never sleep.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Open Call: October 8 \u2013 November 8, 2026<\/strong><br\/><strong>3 fellowships of 1,000 euros each<\/strong><br\/><strong>Maximum of 42 applications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/you-transfer.com\/2026\/09\/27\/ki-fellowship-2026\/\">Further information<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Application deadline: November 8, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three fellowships for artistic projects on artificial intelligence\u2014awarded by a jury of AI agents.
