Humanity AI $10M Open Call: Applications Due by 6 PM
Humanity AI’s new $10 million Open Call, which invites U.S.-based organizations (including universities) to apply for funding that supports communities’ collective power to shape how AI is built, governed, and used.
The Open Call will provide grants of $75,000 to $1 million for up to three years for community-led efforts focused on:

Labor and economy: Ensuring AI enhances, rather than replaces, workers and contributes to an economy in which people can thrive. Humanities, arts, and culture: Enhancing human creativity and understanding while protecting the work of artists and creators. Within these areas, proposed projects should take one or more of three approaches: shaping how AI is governed and used; building AI on community terms; or challenging AI that does not serve communities. Humanity AI is particularly interested in efforts where those most affected by AI are defining the goals, shaping the approach, and…
