Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $174,112 to the University of Ottawa to support the Institute for Replication in producing a series of replication games led by Abel Brodeur that test how large language models can help humans reproduce the results of economics papers and find errors in original papers. The replication games will be run as randomized controlled trials.
This grant was funded via a request for proposals for projects studying and forecasting the real-world impacts of systems built from LLMs. It falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.
