Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $133,402 to the University of California, Santa Barbara to support a project led by Professor William Wang to build a database and taxonomy of large language model (LLM) use cases. This is one of two grants we recently made to support this work.
This grant was funded via a request for proposals for projects studying and forecasting the real-world impacts of systems built from LLMs. This falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.
