Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $58,141 to the University of Illinois to support Professor Ben Levinstein’s work developing a course titled “Computation and Humanity’s Future”, which will cover AI alignment and other topics related to computer science and philosophy.
We sought applications for this funding to support the development of courses on a range of topics that are relevant to certain areas of Open Philanthropy’s grantmaking.
This falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of growing and empowering the EA community.
