Open Philanthropy recommended a gift of $26,000 to UC Berkeley to support a small workshop bringing together experts in computational social choice theory and AI alignment. Professor Wesley H. Holliday will organize the workshop, and participants will discuss AI alignment and AI as a tool for democracy. The grant will also allow Dr. Jobst Heitzig, a co-organizer of the workshop, to attend three related machine learning conferences.

This falls within our focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.
