May 12, 2026Foresight Institute~$150,000*Interpretability, EvalsforesightAn Automated Interpretability-Driven System for Model Auditing and Control We will build an agentic interpretability system in which experts converse with an agent to check what internal computations led to a model’s answer, and which fixes model errors with minimal side effects. This will allow non-AI experts in safety-critical domains to contribute to AI alignment through their area of expertise. — AI for Science & Safety Nodes — 2026 cohort
