Source evidence
1 src · 1 checkNoteSubject mismatch: The claim is about a specific funding round (a grant FROM Open Philanthropy TO Future of Life Institute), but the source is about Open Philanthropy's own AI Risk Fund program structure and current funding opportunities. The source confirms that Open Philanthropy has been funding AI safety work since at least 2015 ('Our AI safety strategy has evolved significantly since 2015'), but it does not provide the specific grant details claimed: the recipient (FLI), the exact amount ($1,186,000), or confirm this as a discrete 2015 grant. The source discusses Open Philanthropy's funding program in general terms, not specific historical grants to external organizations. To verify the record, one would need a source that explicitly lists Open Philanthropy's grants to FLI, including amounts and dates.
