It seems that AI safety is at least partly bottlenecked by a lack of orgs. To help address that, we’ve added a page to AISafety.com aimed at lowering the friction for starting one: AISafety.com/founders.

This page was built largely as the result of a suggestion from @Ryan Kidd, who found he was frequently sharing the same set of resources with potential founders and realised it would be useful to have something similar publicly available.

It lists:

Fiscal sponsors

Incubators

VCs

Articles and tools

As with all resources on AISafety.com, we put substantial bandwidth into making sure the information on this page is accurate and up to date. If you have any feedback, please let us know in the comments or via the Suggest buttons on the page.

This is the 11th resource page on the site. Here's the full list:

courses for self-study

communities, both local and online

upcoming events and training programs (plus a weekly newsletter)

funders offering support for AI safety projects (and a newsletter announcing new opportunities)

field map displaying the key orgs, programs, and projects in AI safety

advisors offering guidance calls to help individuals most effectively contribute to AI safety

media channels (newsletters, podcasts, etc.) for staying informed

field-building projects seeking volunteer support

jobs (a filtered subset of 80k’s database)

a guide for donating to the field

founder toolkit for starting and growing an AI safety org
