Open Philanthropy recommended three grants totaling $1,686,290 to Principles of Intelligent Behavior in Biological and Social Systems (PIBBSS) to support a summer research fellowship for academics. Fellows will research the parallels between intelligent behavior in natural and artificial systems, with the goal of finding insights relevant to AI safety and alignment.
This follows Open Philanthropy’s March 2023 support and falls within its focus area of Global Catastrophic Risks Capacity Building.
