A new Corrigibility Research Fund has been launched, managed by Lightcone Infrastructure, with the goal of significantly increasing research into AI corrigibility. The fund, seeded by philanthropist Peter McCluskey, will distribute at least $200,000 in 2026 through grants and prizes. Corrigibility is seen as a promising approach to ensuring advanced AI remains aligned with human values by designing AI systems that defer to human principals rather than making independent judgments.
