[Navigating Transformative AI] Grant investigator: Daniel Dewey This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. BERI staff also reviewed this page prior to publication. The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a grant of $250,000 to the Berkeley Existential Risk Initiative (BERI) to temporarily or permanently hire machine learning research engineers dedicated to BERI's collaboration with the Center for Human-compatible Artificial Intelligence (CHAI). Based on conversations with various professors and students, we believe CHAI could make more progress with more engineering support. This grant follows previous support to UC Berkeley to launch CHAI and to BERI to collaborate with CHAI, and falls within our focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.
