Notes
[Navigating Transformative AI] Grant Investigator: Daniel Dewey This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. Ought staff also reviewed this page prior to publication. Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $1,000,000 over two years to Ought for general support. Ought conducts research on factored condition, which we consider relevant to AI alignment. This follows our May 2018 support and falls within our focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.
