Conjecture — SERI MATS Program in London (2022)
Needs attention[Navigating Transformative AI] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $457,380 to Conjecture to support their collaboration with the Stanford Existential Risks Initiative (SERI) on SERI’s Machine Learning Alignment Theory Scholars (MATS) program. MATS is an educational seminar and independent research program that aims to provide talented scholars with talks, workshops, and research mentorship in the field of AI alignment. This grant will support a London-based extension for a MATS cohort that started in Berkeley. Conjecture will use this funding to provide office space in London and operations support. This follows our April 2022 support for the MATS program and falls within our focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.
