Human Rights Foundation - AI Program - 4th year and hiring
Good Ancestor is proud to announce it's 4th year of funding a group of AI fellows to attend the Oslo Freedom Forum. If you are an AI practitioner interested in attending please Contact us, our fellowship covers travel, hotel, and admission to the conference.
Also an important announcement, as this initiative has grown, Jack Dorsey has made a $5m contribution to the organization and they will be hiring a primary AI director. We would encourage you to apply here. This position focuses primarily on AI in authoritarian countries and its relationship to freedom, rather than AI safety, so read carefully to see if you are aligned.
This initiative is a good example of our ecosystem assistance program, which seeks to provide seed funding and subject matter expertise to organizations in support of entrepreneurial and innovative initiatives they are well suited to.
To learn more about their work, you can read their well produced annual reports here.
About Ecosystem Assistance
Good Ancestor has a long history of assisting the Human Rights Foundation including our first grant of $100k nearly a decade ago, and the formation of the board, watching it grow from infancy to a $30m/year organization with many programs.
In addition to serving as an outside board member and consulting on strategy, we have assisted with the initiation of novel programs, and supporting key programs with subject matter expertise. For example:
Fundraising and granting initiatives
- Traveling to audit international grant reviews, charity evaluations
- Finding donors to initiate topic specific funds and organizations to merge efforts
- Funding or finding funding for ecosystem initiatives that the org could not fund due to its mission
Technology concerns
- Assistance with IT security and nation state actor threats
- Assistance using cloud compute to analyze encrypted documents
- Providing IT Security and technology to fellows and ecosystem partners convened by the org but outside their core mission and competency
We are open to helping select non-profit ecosystem partners in a similar manner, particularly those that convene important audiences. Contact us to inquire. If you are interested in security see Internet Security advice for persons of interest.
