The Machine Intelligence and Normative Theory (MINT) Lab at the ANU is seeking highly motivated PhD candidates to work under the supervision of Professor Seth Lazar on its new project on Language Model Agents and Society, on funded scholarships totalling $50,000AUD per year in 2025, 2026 and 2027.

This ambitious research project aims to explore the societal impacts, ethical considerations, and regulatory frameworks surrounding the development and deployment of Language Model Agents—advanced AI systems powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), that are capable of autonomous action, decision-making, and tool usage.
