Funding Round: MacArthur Foundation - Humanity AI Grant (AI Now Institute)
The source confirms that AI Now Institute received $2 million from MacArthur Foundation's Humanity AI initiative, but the claimed amount in the record is $2,000,000 (which is equivalent and confirmed). However, the date in the record is listed as '2025-10' (October 2025), while the source document is dated 'February 12, 2026' — this is a temporal mismatch. The source discusses the announcement/grant award date as February 2026, not October 2025. The name and amount are confirmed, but the date appears to be incorrect in the record.
