UK AISI recently launched The Alignment Project: an international coalition working on solving the alignment problem. The Project has £15m initial funding, which they’re looking to distribute in the next 6 months. Their collaborators include Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Canada AISI, UK ARIA, Yoshua Bengio, and Geoff Ralston (former Y Combinator president). They can fund amounts from a $100k pre-seed up to $1-2m. See their priority areas and apply here by 10th Sep.
