GovAI announced an Entrepreneurs-in-Residence program to address the shortage of organizations in AI safety and governance. Participants receive a one-year salary and approximately $150k in seed funding to launch new initiatives, with no equity taken by GovAI. The program aims to inspire more entrepreneurship in the AI policy space, noting that funding is available but founders are scarce. Past GovAI staff have already founded entities like Safe AI Forum.
