The Authors Alliance, with funding from the Knight Foundation, runs the AI, Authorship, and the Public Interest grant program awarding up to $20,000 per project to researchers tackling the most pressing copyright and authorship questions raised by generative AI.
Priority research areas include the criteria that should determine whether AI-assisted works merit copyright protection, the contours of meaningful human authorship in AI-mediated creative processes, comparative global frameworks for AI and copyright law, and the design of sustainable opt-out and consent systems for training data.
The first round drew over 160 proposals and funded five recipients in 2025; Authors Alliance has signaled additional rounds to broaden the field of AI copyright scholarship oriented to the public interest. Eligible work spans legal scholarship, empirical research, policy analysis, and comparative law studies.

The program emphasizes published written journalism in established outlets but also considers podcasts, video, and other formats. Selection criteria prioritize impact potential, reach to influential audiences, demonstrated journalistic experience, and feasibility of the proposed project.
The CLR Fund is a rolling-application grantmaker run by the Center on Long-Term Risk supporting research that reduces s-risks (suffering risks) from advanced AI, particularly through multi-agent safety, cooperative AI, decision theory, and the prevention of catastrophic conflict and worst-case outcomes from AI systems. The fund supports individuals (independent researchers, graduate students, early-career fellows), small charitable organizations, and academic projects whose work addresses neglected technical and conceptual problems at the intersection of AI alignment and long-term suffering risks. Priority research areas include multi-agent reinforcement learning safety, game-theoretic alignment, cooperative AI mechanisms, decision theory for AI, threat modeling for advanced AI conflict, and wild animal welfare adjacent to AI ethics. Grant decisions are made by simple majority approval from fund managers Tobias Baumann, Emery Cooper, and Tristan Cook. Past awards have ranged from approximately $5,000 short research grants to $251,000 multi-year project support.
The FLI Digital Media Accelerator funds digital content creators developing video, audio, written, and social content that explains advanced AI risks and developments to broad audiences. Supported content addresses topics such as AGI implications, alignment challenges, corporate power concentration in AI, AI policy, and AI safety research. Eligible formats include YouTube explainers, TikTok and Instagram channels, newsletters, podcasts, and existing channels adding AI risk content series. FLI seeks creators who can translate complex AI safety topics into language and formats their audiences understand and find relatable. Funding can support production costs, scripting, fact-checking, expert interviews, and platform growth. The program is rolling and managed by Maggie at maggie@futureoflife.org, with applications submitted via FLI's Airtable applicant portal.
