New RFP on extreme power concentration
Hi there, I’m an AI program officer at Longview Philanthropy, and I’ve just launched our request for proposals on AI-enabled concentration of power.
I think this may be one of the most important and neglected problems the world faces, and we want to fund work to better understand and reduce it. If you have good ideas for tackling the problem, we’re keen to fund you. If you know people who should work on it, please send it to them!
Applications close July 2nd. Details here.
