Survival and Flourishing Corp announced an "Independently Supervised Peer-Assisted" (ISPA) inspection prize of $5M-$20M, seeded with $5M from Jaan Tallinn plus $5M in 1:2 matching funds. The idea: a trusted non-government auditor hires frontier AI labs as contractors to inspect each other for pre-deployment security risks like lab leaks and sandbox exfiltration, complementing government oversight without its coercive overtones.
