This is: OpenAI's Superalignment team has opened Fast Grants, published by Yadav on December 18, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum.From their website:We are offering $100K-$2M grants for academic labs, nonprofits, and individual researchers. For graduate students, we are sponsoring a one-year $150K OpenAI Superalignment Fellowship: $75K in stipend and $75K in compute and research funding.Things they're interested in funding:With these grants, we 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.Thanks for listening.
