The Open Philanthropy Project recommended two gifts totaling $299,320 to Yale University to support research on the global politics of advanced artificial intelligence. The work will be led by Assistant Professor of Political Science, Allan Dafoe, who will conduct part of the research at the Future of Humanity Institute in Oxford, United Kingdom over the next year.
