- Organization:
- University of Toronto
- Award Date:
- 12/2020
- Amount:
- $520,000
- Purpose:
- To support research on understanding, predicting, and controlling machine learning systems.
Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $520,000 over four years to the University of Toronto to support research on understanding, predicting, and controlling machine learning systems, led by Professor Chris Maddison, a former Open Phil AI Fellow. This funding is intended to enable three students and a postdoctoral researcher to work with Professor Maddison on the research.
This falls within Open Philanthropy's focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.
