Description
Coefficient Giving’s AI Governance RFP supports work to reduce the likelihood or severity of global catastrophe from advanced AI, including deliberate misuse and loss of control over powerful autonomous systems. The program funds research, training and mentorship, general organizational support, and other focused projects. Research may clarify strategic questions, assess AI’s development, develop governance options and implementation strategies, or make existing findings more accessible and actionable.
Its six priorities are technical AI governance, government policy development, frontier company policy, international AI governance, law, and strategic analysis and threat modeling. These encompass technical governance mechanisms, implementable policy proposals, company safety practices, multilateral coordination, legal frameworks, and analysis of AI timelines and threats. Exceptional proposals outside these priorities may be considered if they address catastrophic AI risks.
