Open AI's Research into the Agentic AI Systems program is accepting applications until midnight ET on January 20, 2024. Grants will be between $10,000 and $100,000 for research for 3-8 month projects on the impacts of agentic AI systems and practices for making them safe. It defines agenticness as the degree to which an AI system can adaptably achieve complex goals in complex environments with limited direct supervision.

Open AI also has Superalignment Fast Grants, which will award $100K to $2 Million grants for academic labs, nonprofits, and individual researchers researching to answer the question: How can humans steer and trust AI systems much smarter than them? The application is open, with a deadline of February 18, 2024.
