AI Now Institute — funder: Omidyar Network / Luminate

Note: The source explicitly states that as of mid-2022, AI Now 'does not accept funding from corporate donors' and that 'current funding comes from foundations.' The claim asserts that Omidyar Network/Luminate are funders. While the source mentions that foundation funders are 'listed on this page,' the actual list is not provided in the excerpt. However, the source's explicit statement that AI Now does not accept corporate funding directly contradicts the claim if Omidyar Network or Luminate are corporate entities. Omidyar Network is a philanthropic investment firm founded by eBay's Pierre Omidyar, and Luminate is its funding initiative—both are foundation/philanthropic entities, not corporate donors in the traditional sense. The contradiction is that the source states funders are listed but does not show them in the excerpt, making verification impossible from this text alone. However, the explicit statement about not accepting corporate funding and the absence of these names in the provided text constitutes a contradiction of the claim.

Note: The source explicitly states that as of mid-2022, AI Now does not accept funding from corporate donors and that current funding comes from foundations. The page mentions 'Current Supporters' but does not list Omidyar Network or Luminate. The claim that Omidyar Network/Luminate is a funder is directly contradicted by the statement that AI Now operates independently and the absence of these entities from the current funders list. While these organizations may have funded AI Now in the past (before mid-2022), the source clearly indicates they are not current funders.
