Sincxpress Education — Mechanistic Interpretability Course Development
Verified[Global Catastrophic Risks] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $30,000 to Sincxpress Education to support the development of an online course on mechanistic interpretability. Mechanistic interpretability is a field within AI safety focused on reverse-engineering the inner workings of neural networks to understand how they arrive at their decisions. The course will be distributed through the Udemy platform. In addition, this grant will support the creation of free educational content on YouTube. We sought applications for this funding to support the development of courses on a range of topics that are relevant to certain areas of Open Philanthropy’s grantmaking. This falls within our focus area of Global Catastrophic Risks Capacity Building.
