Michel Justen

Michel Justen is the AI Grants Lead at the Tarbell Center for AI Journalism, an organization funded by Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy), where he manages the center's reporting grants program. Previously, he was a 2024 Research Fellow at Pivotal Research, where he studied international AI governance and benefit-sharing — specifically how the US government might share financial or access benefits from advanced AI to unlock international safety agreements, mentored by Matthew van der Merwe and Max Dalton. Before that, he worked as an Events Associate at the Centre for Effective Altruism, running events including the Summit on Existential Security and the New Orleans Alignment Workshop, and co-founded and scaled the EA Opportunity Board. He also founded the EA student group at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he studied Neurobiology and Psychology. He received a Long-Term Future Fund grant to produce an animated video essay explaining how AI could accelerate AI R&D and the implications for AI governance. He writes on AI governance topics through his Substack newsletters 'What is this' and 'With (some) respect to AI.'
