Grantmaking work
Introduction
Financial support for promising work aligned with our mission.
Grants process
We are excited to offer multiple opportunities to apply for support:
Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Contests, which we publish on our website on a regular basis. Examples include our PhD and Postdoctoral Fellowships, our grants program on the Humanitarian Impacts of Nuclear War, and our Worldbuilding competition.
Collaborations in direct support of FLI internal projects and initiatives. For example, FLI has funded film production on autonomous weapons at partner organisations. FLI staff work closely with these grantees.
We do not accept unsolicited requests. Please subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on social media to learn more about our upcoming RFPs and Contests. Any questions about grants can be sent to grants@futureoflife.blackfin.biz.

AI Safety Community
A community dedicated to ensuring AI is developed safely.
The way to ensure a better, safer future with AI is not to impede the development of this new technology but to accelerate our wisdom in handling it by supporting AI safety research.
Since it may take decades to complete this research it is prudent to start now. AI safety research prepares us better for the future by pre-emptively making AI beneficial to society and reducing its risks.
This mission motivates research across many disciplines, from economics and law to technical areas like verification, validity, security, and control. We’d love you to join!
