Google DeepMind, Schmidt Sciences, the Cooperative AI Foundation, ARIA and Google.org are launching a new $10 million fund for research on multi-agent, multi-principal AGI safety.
The initiative shifts attention away from single-agent alignment and centralized control toward problems such as mechanism design, cooperative AI, and coordination in multi-agent settings. Researchers can now apply for support through the linked call for proposals.
