Source Check Verdicts
Last checked: 4/13/2026
The source confirms the $2 million amount and the recipient (AI Now Institute) as part of the MacArthur Foundation's Humanity AI initiative. However, the date in the record is listed as '2025-10' (October 2025), while the source document is dated 'February 12, 2026'. This is a temporal mismatch. The source shows the announcement was made in February 2026, not October 2025. Additionally, the record names this as 'MacArthur Foundation - Humanity AI Grant' which is accurate but somewhat simplified—the source describes it as part of '$10 million in aligned grantmaking' supporting the broader Humanity AI initiative. The amount and recipient are confirmed, but the date is incorrect.
