Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $660,000 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 falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.
