Philanthropic funder Coefficient Giving has unveiled Project Tailwind, a call for ambitious AI safety initiatives.
- The thesis: the world is not ready for transformative AI, and critical unsolved problems exist that "no one owns" — inviting capable people to take one on.
- The project page curates a list of ecosystem gaps and initiative ideas selected by its grantmakers.
- Coefficient funds areas spanning global health, biosecurity, forecasting, and transformative AI governance.
- The tweeter frames it as a nudge: the best time to join or start a third-party AI auditing org was three years ago; the second best is now.
