Grantmaking work - Future of Life Institute Supporting vital cutting-edge work with a wise, future-oriented mindset. Financial support for promising work aligned with our mission. Crises like COVID-19 show us that our civilisation is fragile, and needs to plan ahead better.
FLI’s grants are for those who take this fragility seriously, who wish to study the risks from ever more powerful technologies and develop strategies for reducing them. The goal is to win the wisdom race: the race between the growing power of our technology and the wisdom with which we manage it.
We are excited to offer multiple opportunities to apply for support: Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Contests, which we publish on our website on a regular basis. Examples include our grants program on the Humanitarian Impacts of Nuclear War , our call for papers on AI and the SDGs , and our Worldbuilding competition . Collaborations in direct support of FLI internal projects and initiatives.
For example, FLI has funded film production on autonomous weapons at partner organisations. FLI staff work closely with these grantees. Our Fellowships bolster the talent pipeline and support both PhD and Postdoctoral students.

The way to ensure a better, safer future with AI is not to impede the development of this new technology but to accelerate our wisdom in handling it by supporting AI safety research. Since it may take decades to complete this research it is prudent to start now. AI safety research prepares us better for the future by pre-emptively making AI beneficial to society and reducing its risks.
This mission motivates research across many disciplines, from economics and law to technical areas like verification, validity, security, and control. We’d love you to join!
