As neural networks become more complex, studying them requires significant computational resources. The organization's mission is to bridge the gap between AI safety academics and high performance computing by providing the infrastructure they need to address challenges in developing safe AI systems. The organization is partnering with safety labs to build GPU clusters for large natural language models like GPT-3 and reinforcement learning workloads. The organization is also providing a smaller cluster for independent AI safety researchers. Overall, the organization's goal is to support and enable AI safety research through providing specialized computing infrastructure. 3 3 0 0 1443540 5000 54716 0 0 1443540 59716 0 0 0 0 0 85217 471317 85217 471317 1358323 -411601 1370910 959309 0 1370910 959309 See Form 990, Part I, Line 1. false false 471317 54716 During the reporting period, the organization continued to support academic AI safety research labs such as the Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI) and Steinhardt Lab at UC Brkeley. Its expenditures were predominantly colocation and maintenance costs of the server hardware and related components purchased in the prior year to construct a compute cluster, which is utilized by the aforementioned AI safety research labs and dozens of independent researchers. The compute cluster empowered researchers who would otherwise not have the resources necessary to investigate complex neural networks that require substantial compute resources and publish works that advance the field of AI safety. 471317 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 3 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false CA X Nova DasSarma 3156173930 PO Box 15 Bridgeport CA 935170015 X Shauna Kravec President & CEO 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Nova DasSarma Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tom Brown Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 5000 5000 Compute Hours & Support 518210 54716 54716 54716 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 59716 54716 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4516 4516 0 0 0 0 35468 35468 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 237096 237096 0 data Ctr/colocation services 135397 135397 cloud computing services 57897 57897 software subscription 616 616 amazon 278 278 49 49 471317 471317 0 0 185429 10924 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1185481 237096 1185481 948385 0 0 0 0 0 1370910 959309 0 0 X 1370910 959309 1370910 959309 1370910 959309 -411601 X false false false X 50000 1443540 5000 1498540 0 0 50000 1443540 5000 1498540 1413495 85045 0 0 3720 3720 1502260 54716 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1185481 237096 948385 948385 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A copy of the Form 990 was provided to the officers and directors for review and comment prior to filing.
