OpenAI, Inc., is launching a program to award ten $100,000 grants to fund experiments in setting up a democratic process for deciding what rules AI systems should follow, within the bounds defined by the law.
To apply for a grant, we invite you to submit the required application material by 9:00 PM PST June 24th, 2023.
Participating in this seems uniquely impactful
A few months ago I would have applied for one of these to build a Persistent Democracy inspired system, but now I'm working on a startup!
I'd love to collaborate on an application though if someone is interested in pursuing that!
