I’m a smart undergrad in comp sci with published research in machine learning. I have a few related ideas for making LLMs existentially safer that I think are worth a shot and that I’d like to devote some time over the next year to pursuing. Are these grants for people like me? I just want to do personal research on this and publish the results, I don’t expect to create a new org or anything like that.

Yes, some funders are more interested in funding individuals and some are more interested in existing organizations.
If you apply here I’d also recommend applying to the Long Term Future Fund because they’re always looking for more good applications.
