We primarily fund written journalism but are open to supporting other formats. \n“This round\, we’re seeking applications across six focus areas: \n\nAccountability reporting on frontier AI companies\nAI policy and politics\nAI explainers and analysis\nAI in government and militaries\nAI labor impacts\nAI developments in China”
