Show detailsHide details

FLF's in-house research team picks priority areas (currently AI tools for human collective agency: epistemic evaluations, AI-facilitated collaboration, an 'epistemic stack') and then finds people to pursue them, via commissioned prototypes, fellows, convenings or funding. It accepts no unsolicited applications; grants go mainly to organisations it started or invited grantees.

On applying “We don’t have an open application process. Our model is proactive: we identify priority areas first, then go find the right people and projects to pursue them.” flf.org
