Deadline: February 18, 2024
Applications for the OpenAI Superalignment Fast Grants 2024 are now open. These grants aim to support technical research towards the alignment and safety of superhuman AI systems, including weak-to-strong generalization, interpretability, scalable oversight, and more.
With these grants, they are particularly interested in funding the following research directions:
- Weak-to-strong generalization: Humans will be weak supervisors relative to superhuman models. Can we understand and control how strong models generalize from weak supervision?
- Interpretability: How can we understand model internals? And can we use this to e.g. build an AI lie detector?
- Scalable oversight: How can we use AI systems to assist humans in evaluating the outputs of other AI systems on complex tasks?
- Many other research directions, including but not limited to: honesty, chain-of-thought faithfulness, adversarial robustness, evals and testbeds, and more.
Grants
- They are offering $100K–$2M grants for academic labs, nonprofits, and individual researchers.
- For graduate students, they are sponsoring a one-year $150K OpenAI Superalignment Fellowship: $75K in stipend and $75K in compute and research funding.
Eligibility
- Open to academic labs, nonprofits, and individual researchers.
- No prior experience working on alignment is required; they are actively looking to support researchers who are excited to work on alignment for the first time.
Application
Application deadline is February 18, 2024.
