Transformative AI Fund
Early-stage grants to individuals, organizations, and projects addressing transformative AI, especially global catastrophic risks
If you're in the UK or Netherlands, donate via Giving What We Can for tax exemption.
The Transformative AI Fund has a broad remit to make grants that help the transition to transformative AI go well. The fund primarily supports early-stage work. Most of our grants aim to reduce global catastrophic risks from advanced artificial intelligence. However, we also welcome applications addressing other implications of transformative AI, such as flourishing futures and artificial sentience. We support:
- Individuals, new organizations, and existing organizations getting a project off the ground, typically with grants in the $10k-$150k range, with grants rarely exceeding $300k.
- Training for researchers or practitioners, and infrastructure for people working on addressing transformative AI.
- Projects that directly contribute to reducing catastrophic risks from transformative AI through technical research, policy analysis, forecasting, advocacy, and demonstration projects.
- Projects addressing other neglected implications of transformative AI, such as flourishing futures and digital sentience (though we expect these to be a minority of grants).
