*About The Foresight Institute*
The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies. Since our founding in 1986 on a vision of guiding powerful technologies, we have continued to evolve into a many-armed organization that focuses on several fields of science and technology that are too ambitious for legacy institutions to support. From molecular nanotechnology, to brain-computer interfaces, space exploration, cryptocommerce, and AI, Foresight gathers leading minds to advance research and accelerate progress toward flourishing futures.

*The AI Safety Grants Program*
This initiative aims to support critical research into ensuring AI systems are robust, reliable, and beneficial.Foresight has received funding to support projects in three key areas:
1. Neurotechnology, brain computer interface, whole brain emulation, and "lo-fi" uploading approaches to produce human-aligned software intelligence
2. Computer security, cryptography, and related techniques to help secure AI systems
3. Multi agent simulations, game theory and related techniques to create safe multipolar AI scenarios that avoid collusion and foster positive sum dynamics
The grant application process is now open and accepts rolling applications. We look forward to receiving your project proposals that could make a significant difference for AI safety within short timelines. Let's work together to ensure beneficial AI outcomes.
Please visit foresight.org/ai-safety for full details and application instructions.
*The Norm Hardy Prize for Usable Computer Security*
We will also be launching the Norm Hardy Prize for usable computer security, sponsored by Agoric and Protocol Labs! The annual $10k Prize will recognize work that helps users understand, preferably tacitly, the security aspects of what they do, introduces workflows that make the secure way to do something the easy way, develops design principles for systems that are as easy or easier to use because of their security, or explores 'theory of mind’ with respect to how users interact with secure systems. The long term goal of the Prize is a set of design principles and tools that encourage developers to create interaction designs that make it easy for people to use secure systems securely.

*Workshop Presentation Group 1: The Neural Pretty Printer*
WBE is a potential technology to generate software intelligence that is human-aligned simply by being based directly on human brains. Generally past discussions have assumed a fairly long timeline to WBE, while past AGI timelines had broad uncertainty. There were also concerns that the neuroscience of WBE might boost AGI capability development without helping safety, although no consensus did develop. Recently many people have updated their AGI timelines towards earlier development, raising safety concerns. That has led some people to consider whether WBE development could be significantly speeded up, producing a differential technology development re-ordering of technology arrival that might lessen the risk of unaligned AGI by the presence of aligned software intelligence.
Whether this is a viable strategy depends on
(1) AGI timelines not being ultra-short
(2) whether WBE development can be speeded up significantly by a concerted effort, (3) this speedup doesn’t introduce other risks or ethical concerns.
The goals of this workshop is to try to
(A) review the current state of the art in WBE related technology
(B) outline plausible development paths and necessary steps for full WBE
(C) determine whether there is potential for speeding up WBE development
(D) whether there are strategic, risk or ethical issues speaking against this
This two-day event invites leading researchers, entrepreneurs, and funders to drive progress. Explore new opportunities, form lasting collaborations, and join us in driving cooperation toward shared long-term goals. Including mentorship hours, breakouts, and speaker & sponsor gathering.

*BCI Capabilities Relevant to WBEs*

WBE is a potential technology to generate software intelligence that is human-aligned simply by being based directly on human brains. Generally past discussions have assumed a fairly long timeline to WBE, while past AGI timelines had broad uncertainty. There were also concerns that the neuroscience of WBE might boost AGI capability development without helping safety, although no consensus did develop. Recently many people have updated their AGI timelines towards earlier development, raising safety concerns. That has led some people to consider whether WBE development could be significantly speeded up, producing a differential technology development re-ordering of technology arrival that might lessen the risk of unaligned AGI by the presence of aligned software intelligence.
Whether this is a viable strategy depends on
(1) AGI timelines not being ultra-short
(2) whether WBE development can be speeded up significantly by a concerted effort, (3) this speedup doesn’t introduce other risks or ethical concerns.
The goals of this workshop is to try to
(A) review the current state of the art in WBE related technology
(B) outline plausible development paths and necessary steps for full WBE
(C) determine whether there is potential for speeding up WBE development
(D) whether there are strategic, risk or ethical issues speaking against this
This two-day event invites leading researchers, entrepreneurs, and funders to drive progress. Explore new opportunities, form lasting collaborations, and join us in driving cooperation toward shared long-term goals. Including mentorship hours, breakouts, and speaker & sponsor gathering.

WBE is a potential technology to generate software intelligence that is human-aligned simply by being based directly on human brains. Generally past discussions have assumed a fairly long timeline to WBE, while past AGI timelines had broad uncertainty. There were also concerns that the neuroscience of WBE might boost AGI capability development without helping safety, although no consensus did develop. Recently many people have updated their AGI timelines towards earlier development, raising safety concerns. That has led some people to consider whether WBE development could be significantly speeded up, producing a differential technology development re-ordering of technology arrival that might lessen the risk of unaligned AGI by the presence of aligned software intelligence.
Whether this is a viable strategy depends on
(1) AGI timelines not being ultra-short
(2) whether WBE development can be speeded up significantly by a concerted effort, (3) this speedup doesn’t introduce other risks or ethical concerns.
The goals of this workshop is to try to
(A) review the current state of the art in WBE related technology
(B) outline plausible development paths and necessary steps for full WBE
(C) determine whether there is potential for speeding up WBE development
(D) whether there are strategic, risk or ethical issues speaking against this

The intersection of cryptography, security, and AI is still nascent but could be of fundamental importance for beneficial futures. Some opportunities for progress were highlighted in our 2022 workshop, some are entirely new. foresight.org/crypto-workshop
Areas explored are based on technologies highlighted in Gaming the Future: foresight.org/gaming-the-future-the-book
How can cryptography and security technologies improve cooperation across humans?
How can they strengthen defense against civilizational risks?
Do they offer differential technology development paths in relation to AGI?

*About The Foresight Institute*
The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies. Since our founding in 1986 on a vision of guiding powerful technologies, we have continued to evolve into a many-armed organization that focuses on several fields of science and technology that are too ambitious for legacy institutions to support. From molecular nanotechnology, to brain-computer interfaces, space exploration, cryptocommerce, and AI, Foresight gathers leading minds to advance research and accelerate progress toward flourishing futures.
