What the notice says

The AISI Challenge Fund is an initiative delivered by the AI Security Institute on behalf of DSIT. ​As AI technologies rapidly evolve, collaboration with the research community is essential to safely develop the next generation of AI tools, evaluations, and mitigations. AISI will provide funding for leading AI experts around the world to address gaps and challenges identified in AISI's priority research areas, which are necessary to solve in order to develop safe and secure AI systems.​ The Fund will award grants ranging from £50,000 to £200,000 per project, tailored to the scope of proposals. ​While we are particularly interested in AISI's priority research areas, we also welcome proposals that explore other innovative and impactful topics on safe and secure development of AI systems.
