Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $223,569 to Conjecture to support the Alignment Research Engineer Accelerator (ARENA) program, which helps individuals interested in AI safety improve their technical expertise in machine learning. Conjecture will host the program. This is one of two grants we’re making to support the program; the other will go to AI Safety Support.
This follows our February 2023 support and falls within our focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.
