Investing in multi-agent AI safety research

Scaling AI Safety Research for a Multi-Agent World

Key points

  • For the past decade, we’ve focused on making individual AI models more capable, helpful and safe.
  • Today, Google DeepMind — together with Schmidt Sciences, the Cooperative AI Foundation, the Advanced Research and Invention Agency, and supported by Google.org — is announcing a new technical research funding call of up to $10M for researchers worldwide.
  • The funding call focuses on the study of how large-scale multi-agent AI systems behave as a group, and how we can provide frameworks to understand and mitigate against potential risks.
  • By empowering researchers globally, we aim to solve the “invisible” safety risks that arise when independent systems interact across different networks.
