Open Philanthropy recommended a pair of grants totaling $2,321,550 to MATS Research to support research projects undertaken during the winter 2024-2025 ML Alignment & Theory Scholars (MATS) cohort. The MATS program is an educational seminar and independent research program that provides talented scholars with talks, workshops, and research mentorship in the fields of AI alignment, interpretability, and governance.
This follows Open Philanthropy’s December 2024 support and falls within its focus area of Global Catastrophic Risks Capacity Building.
