1 evidence check
Last checked: 4/3/2026
The claim states "Between February and August 2022, the fund awarded approximately $32 million to AI safety projects." The source states "From February to June of 2022, the Future Fund donated about $20 million to AI safety projects." and "Based on the Future Fund grants database , I estimate that the Future Fund donated about $32 million to AI safety projects from February to August 2022." The claim should specify that the $32 million is an estimate. The claim states "FTX-affiliated funding had reportedly reached or been promised to more than 70 AI-related organizations in total, with amounts exceeding $530 million when including broader AI-related commitments such as a reported $500 million to Anthropic." This information is not directly stated in the source. The source only mentions the Future Fund's donations to AI safety projects from February to August 2022. The claim states "The fund's AI safety orientation reflected a broader longtermist view that risks from advanced AI systems—including the possibility of artificial general intelligence posing catastrophic dangers—warranted significant philanthropic attention." This is an interpretation of the fund's orientation and is not explicitly stated in the source.
