The grants aim to provide support for technical research focused on aligning and ensuring the safety of superhuman AI systems, encompassing areas such as weak-to-strong generalization, interpretability, scalable oversight, and additional related areas.
OpenAI Superalignment Fast Grants 2024
They are particularly interested in funding research in the following areas with these grants:
- Weak-to-strong generalization: Exploring how superhuman models can generalize from weak supervision relative to humans.
- Interpretability: Investigating methods to understand the internal workings of models, potentially leading to applications like AI-based lie detectors.
- Scalable oversight: Exploring ways in which AI systems can assist humans in evaluating the outputs of other AI systems in complex tasks.
- Also, they are open to supporting various other research directions such as honesty, chain-of-thought faithfulness, adversarial robustness, evaluations and testbeds, and more.
Grants
- Grants ranging from $100K to $2M are available for academic labs, nonprofits, and individual researchers.
- A one-year OpenAI Superalignment Fellowship is being offered to graduate students, providing $150K in total: $75K for stipend and $75K for compute and research funding.
Eligibility Criteria
- The opportunity is open to academic labs, non-profits, and individual researchers.
- Alignment work does not require prior experience.
- They are actively seeking to support researchers who are eager to work on alignment for the first time.
