Funded by the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, this role sits at the heart of Consumers International’s Agentic AI Governance workstream, Building Consumer Agency into Agentic AI.
The postholder will lead the development of a Framework – a set of consumer agency core principles – that consumer advocates everywhere can use to embed consumer protection in the building of agentic AI governance. They will carry consumer positions into international technical and policy forums, including agentic naming and discovery efforts such as the Agent Name Service (ANS), and work alongside 2–3 Consumers International Members already engaging their national policymakers and standards bodies on agentic AI.
