Stanford University — AI Alignment Research (2021)

[Navigating Transformative AI] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $1,500,000 over three years to Stanford University to support research led by Professor Percy Liang on AI safety and alignment. We hope this funding will accelerate progress on technical problems and help to build a pipeline for younger researchers to work on AI alignment. This follows our 2017 support for Professor Liang’s research and falls within our focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.
