Grant: Empirical research into AI consciousness and moral patienthood (Manifund → Robert Long)

1 check · 4/9/2026

The source confirms the grant name, grantee (Robert Long), funder (Manifund), and amount ($12,020 raised against $12,000 goal). However, the date field in the record claims 2023-09-09, which cannot be verified from the source text. The source shows a Wayback Machine archive date of 2026-01-15, but this is the capture date, not the grant date. The donor comments use relative timestamps ('over 2 years ago', '9 months ago') which are ambiguous without a reference point. The source does not explicitly state the grant creation/award date as 2023-09-09. All other fields are confirmed, but the specific date cannot be verified from this source.
