Yeah. I don’t have more understanding of the specifics than are given on that grant page, and I don’t know the theory of impact the grantmakers had in mind, but it looks to me like something that’s useful because it feeds into future strategy by “our crowd”, rather than because it will have outputs that put the world in a generically better position.
Super helpful, thank you!
Just zooming in on the two biggest ones. One was CSET, which I think I understand why is Phase 1.
The other is this one: https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/global-catastrophic-risks/potential-risks-advanced-artificial-intelligence/massachusetts-institute-of-technology-ai-trends-and-impacts-research-2022
Is this Phase 1 because it’s essentially an input to future AI strategy?
