The AI Alignment Project
Aug 5, 2025
An international, cross-sector coalition offering funding of up to £1 million to advance the field of alignment.
Transformative AI has the potential to deliver unprecedented benefits to humanity, from medical breakthroughs and sustainable energy to solving the global housing crisis. But this future depends on ensuring powerful AI systems reliably act as we intend them to, without unintended or harmful behaviours. Without advances in alignment research, future systems risk operating in ways we cannot fully understand or control, with profound implications for global safety and security.
The Alignment Project is a global fund of over £15 million, dedicated to accelerating progress in AI alignment research. Our aim is to promote the development of advanced AI systems that are safe, reliable, and beneficial to society. We provide funding of up to £1 million to researchers from across disciplines.
