    Open Philanthropy recommended a contract of $612,185 with Rethink Priorities to support research projects on topics related to AI governance. We believe that Rethink Priorities’ research outputs may help inform our AI policy grantmaking strategy.

    This falls within our focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.

    This project was supported through a contractor agreement. While we typically do not publish pages for contractor agreements, we occasionally opt to do so.

    The grant amount was updated in March 2022.
