OPEN AI SUPERALIGNMENT FAST GRANTS

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: February 18, 2024

LOCATION: USA

OpenAI is launching $10M in grants to support technical research towards the alignment and safety of superhuman AI systems, including weak-to-strong generalization, interpretability, scalable oversight, and more

ELIGIBILITY:

Individuals and institutions in most other countries are expected to apply.

No prior experience working on alignment is required; we are actively looking to support researchers who are excited to work on alignment for the first time.

While they expect more fully-formed research projects for larger grants, they’re open to more exploratory smaller grants, e.g. for a graduate student who wants to explore working on alignment and is considering a few different directions, but doesn’t have a fully-formed project yet.

Excellent machine learning researchers and engineers who haven’t worked on alignment before, but want to take a crack at some of these research directions can apply.

BENEFIT:

They are offering $100K–$2M grants for academic labs, nonprofits, and individual researchers.

For graduate students, they are sponsoring a one-year $150K OpenAI Superalignment Fellowship: $75K in stipend and $75K in compute and research funding.
