Source evidence
1 src · 2 checksNoteThe source text explicitly states: 'In 2023, Open Phil spent about $46 million on AI safety making it probably the largest funder of AI safety in the world.' This directly confirms the claim that Open Philanthropy's AI safety spending in 2023 was $46M. The claim's reference to 'Coefficient Giving's Description' appears to be metadata about how this fact was catalogued, but the underlying data point ($46M in 2023) is clearly confirmed by the source.
NoteThe claim references 'Coefficient Giving's Description' with a specific 2023 figure of $46M in AI safety spending. While the source URL is from a LessWrong post about AI safety funding (updated January 2025), the provided excerpt only covers the introduction and past work sections, discussing historical funding estimates from 2017-2020. The excerpt does not reach the section that would likely contain information about specific funders like Coefficient Giving. To verify this claim, the full source text would need to be reviewed, particularly sections discussing individual funders and their 2023 contributions.
