AI Safety & Existential Risk Funding
AI
A funding community dedicated to reducing catastrophic risks from advanced AI: technical alignment and interpretability research, AI governance and policy, model evaluations, and field-building. Capital moves from large grantmakers (Coefficient Giving, formerly Open Philanthropy; Survival and Flourishing Fund; Future of Life Institute; Schmidt Sciences) and pooled funds (Long-Term Future Fund, AI Safety Fund at the Frontier Model Forum) into research nonprofits, fellowships and talent pipelines (MATS, BlueDot Impact), and regranting platforms such as Manifund. Government AI security institutes participate as research anchors of the same field.
