We evaluated this grant on similar grounds to the AI-Summer School grant above; based on direct interactions we’ve had with some of the organizers and the calibre of some of the participating established AI Alignment organizations we feel that the project deserves funding. Our understanding is that the organizers are still in the process of finalizing whether or not to go ahead with the unconference, so this funding is conditional on them deciding to proceed. This grant would fully fund Orpheus’ request.
