Brundage Questions OpenAI Safety Funding Relative to Anthropic IPO
AI policy researcher flags potential gap between OpenAI foundation spending and future Anthropic IPO commitments.
Miles Brundage, an AI policy researcher and Executive Director of AVERI, posted that an Anthropic IPO could direct more resources to AI safety and resilience than OpenAI's foundation, which was established largely for that goal. He urged faster movement of funds through OAIF. The post drew a reply from engineer and AI startup founder Ben Anderson, who asked what about the shrimp. Both statements appear in the visible public posts, with no further confirmation or independent details supplied in the packet about actual funding amounts or outcomes.
Would be quite embarrassing and bad for the world if Anthropic's IPO ends up putting more money into AI safety + resilience than OpenAI's foundation which was set up in large part for that purpose Need to get that money moving faster, OAIF ⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️
