Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $500,000 over two years to support the Berkeley Existential Risk Initiative’s collaboration with the Center for Human-Compatible (CHAI) to work on research relevant to potential risks from artificial intelligence and machine learning. The funding will be used to support interns at CHAI by providing them with research stipends, software, and compute.
This follows Open Philanthropy’s February 2022 support and falls within its focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.
