    Grant investigator: Luke Muehlhauser

    This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. Scholarship recipients also reviewed the page prior to publication.


    Open Philanthropy recommended flexible support to enable individuals to pursue and explore careers in artificial intelligence policy. We sought applications for this funding here. Recipients include:

    • Emefa Agawu
    • Benjamin Mueller
    • Matthew Gentzel
    • Karson Elmgren

    We have also offered funding to a few other applicants, but are waiting to learn whether they accept (e.g. based on whether they are admitted to their graduate school program of choice). We plan to update this page again once the full list of recipients is known, at which time we will also list the total amount of funding provided.

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