Project summary

I'm currently an MIT Economics PhD, working on understanding and forecasting AI Progress. Originally this grant was for course buyouts, but its becoming increasing likely I will leave my PhD for other options pretty soon. Therefore, I am updating this project to general career support or money for experiments/compute, etc.

Possibly general career support (e.g. salary after leaving phd) or experiments or compute.

Who is on your team? What's your track record on similar projects?
