Funding is available for projects that develop high-impact approaches in AI, with a focus on:
Automating AI research and forecasting (e.g., AI-enabled research scaling, advanced forecasting for safe AGI).
Neurotechnology for human-AI collaboration (e.g., Brain-Computer Interfaces, Whole Brain Emulation, lo-fi behavioral modeling).
Security technologies for AI systems (e.g., cryptographic trust frameworks, automated red-teaming, secure AI architectures).
Safe multi-agent AI interactions (e.g., game theory for AI-human cooperation, avoiding collusion, deception, and competitive risks).
Sectors / domain
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, computational neuroscience, cybersecurity, and AI governance.
Call open to individuals, teams, and organizations.
Start-ups, research groups, and academic teams can apply.
