I am not sure these are the most controversial, but I have had several conversations when evaluating AIS grants where I disagreed substantively with other fund managers. I think there are some object-level disagreements (what kinds of research do we expect to be productive) as well as meta-level disagreements (like “what should the epistemic process look like that decides what types of research get funded” or “how do our actions change the incentives landscape within EA/rationality/AIS”).
