SFF-2019-Q4 S-process recommendations announcement
Survival and Flourishing Fund, 2018
Abstract
A group of people engaged in a grantmaking process called the S-process, where they used a spreadsheet with marginal utility functions to simulate different scenarios of grant allocation to various organizations. Recommendations were made and adjustments were performed to determine the final grant amounts. Information sharing and veto power were part of the process, and both funders and recommenders had autonomy in their decision-making. The S-process aimed to support organizations working on issues such as effective altruism, artificial intelligence, longevity research, and future generations, among others. – AI-generated abstract.
