Our Los Angeles center is the global media hub of the Berggruen
Institute where we publish Noema and the Futurology Podcast. It
also hosts Studio B, which produces that podcast, and in
partnership with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,
brings together frontier thinkers from science, technology and
philosophy with Hollywood creatives as a way to influence that
platform for storytelling so influential in setting the meta-narrative.
Studio B is a founding sponsor of the Creative Coalition on AI.

California is our most active center in promoting the idea of
“participation without populism” through The Think Long Committee
for California and Engaged California, an AI-assisted platform that
enables the public to deliberate pressing state issues at scale.

The Berggruen Prize for Philosophy and Culture, as well as the
Berggruen Essay Competition, operate out of the L.A. outpost.
