Coefficient Giving — Description: Cumulative AI safety grants (2017-2024): $336M (~12% of total giving)

NoteThe source text directly confirms the claim. The relevant passage states: 'Since it was founded in 2017, Open Phil has donated about $2.8 billion of which about $336 million was spent on AI safety (~12%).' This matches the claim exactly: $336M in cumulative AI safety grants (2017-2024) representing approximately 12% of $2.8B total giving. The source is from a LessWrong post (matching the 'third-party LessWrong analysis' context provided in the claim), and the data has been updated to January 2025 to reflect all available 2024 data, making it current.

NoteWhile the source URL matches the LessWrong post cited in the claim's context, the provided excerpt does not contain the specific numerical claims about Coefficient Giving ($336M) or the percentage (12% of $2.8B). The excerpt only provides introductory material and historical context about AI safety funding estimates from 2017-2020. To verify this claim would require access to the complete article, particularly any tables or sections discussing individual grantmakers like Coefficient Giving.
