Today we’re excited to launch Public Data for Health, with more than $125M in initial grants to nonprofits and universities creating and opening up high-quality scientific datasets. AI is getting dramatically better at analyzing biology, but accelerating medical discovery depends on researchers having high-quality data to work with. Our goal is to make more valuable scientific data broadly available so researchers can build on each other’s work and accelerate discoveries that help prevent and treat disease. Learn more:

The OpenAI Foundation is hiring people to help turn AI’s capabilities into benefits people can feel. Doing that takes more than advances in AI itself. It takes new scientific infrastructure, stronger institutions, and organizations that can turn new capabilities into real-world impact. We’re hiring talented and passionate people to help us advance our mission:

The OpenAI Foundation is launching AI for Civil Society and Philanthropy to help nonprofits, community organizations, and other trusted partners put advanced AI to work on urgent challenges, develop practical solutions and scale what works. The first effort is a $100 million commitment with Common Health Coalition to launch Breakthroughs to Follow-through to help care teams use AI to reach more patients with proven treatments - starting with the goal of doubling hepatitis C cure rates in Alabama, Illinois, Louisiana, and Massachusetts. Breakthroughs to Follow-through will work to identify patients who have fallen out of care, synthesize records, track progress, and focus limited staff time where it can have the greatest impact. The OpenAI Foundation wants to empower those who are closest to issues and to put AI to work where it can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

The OpenAI Foundation is proud to announce a grant to the @childmindinst to study AI's impact on youth mental health. The Foundation's mission is to ensure artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity, and that commitment extends to future generations. With this grant, the Child Mind Institute will build on their existing work and research in order to help inform the creation of better AI systems for children in the future.

The OpenAI Foundation is joining Intercept as a founding partner through our AI resilience program. As AI accelerates advances in biology and medicine, we also need to prepare for the risks of misuse, including the potential for engineered outbreaks. Intercept Health Fund is working to end respiratory pandemics through a pathogen-agnostic approach, investing in broad-spectrum preventatives and non-pharmaceutical interventions that can protect against a wide range of threats and strengthen a new layer of resilience for humanity.

AI is advancing quickly. Society’s ability to manage its risks must advance just as fast. Today we’re sharing our vision for AI Resilience, with more than $130M in initial grants underway across bio-resilience, cyber-resilience, AI model safety, and AI’s impact on young people:

AI is likely to reshape the economy in profound ways, creating both challenges to navigate and opportunities to improve people’s lives. Today, the OpenAI Foundation is announcing an initial $250M commitment to building secure and abundant economic futures in the age of AI. We’ll focus on measurement and forecasting, supporting communities navigating transition, and long-term economic security, including new approaches to ensuring AI’s value is shared broadly.

AI creates real opportunities for young people to learn and grow. It also needs to be safe, trustworthy, and appropriate for different stages of development. The OpenAI Foundation is proud to support @CommonSense’s new Youth AI Safety Institute, which brings independent testing, clear standards, and transparency to AI used by young people. Learn more:

Alzheimer’s is one of the most devastating diseases, killing ~2 million people globally each year and costing over $1 trillion annually. It also remains one of the hardest unsolved problems in medicine. We believe advanced AI can help change that:
