The Global AI Safety Institute has secured $250 million in funding from a coalition of tech companies, philanthropic organizations, and government agencies. The institute will focus on long-term AI alignment challenges, developing robust evaluation methodologies, and exploring technical safeguards for increasingly capable AI systems. Research areas include interpretability, formal verification of AI behaviors, and containment strategies. The multi-stakeholder funding model aims to ensure independence and credibility. The institute plans to publish all research findings openly and establish an international fellowship program to build capacity in AI safety globally.
