Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $3,000,000 to Metaculus to support work to improve its online forecasting platform, which allows forecasters to make predictions about world events. We believe that this work will help to provide more accurate and calibrated forecasts in domains relevant to Open Philanthropy’s work, such as artificial intelligence and biosecurity and pandemic preparedness, and enable organizations and individuals working in those areas to make better decisions.
This follows Open Philanthropy’s May 2022 support and falls within its work on global catastrophic risks.
