World-renowned computer scientist and prolific author of over 25 books, Dr. Ben Goertzel—Founder and CEO of SingularityNET, the CEO of the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance, and Chair of the OpenCog Foundation, has announced over $1 million+ in grants to empower developers to advance benevolent AGI for humanity's benefit.

Grant recipients will have invaluable access to cutting-edge technology, with a chance to leverage SingularityNET's platform and access advanced technologies, frameworks, and a global network of AGI experts.

The $1million+ USD fund pool will provide those in the field with the financial resources to pursue groundbreaking AGI R&D projects designed to complement internal R&D at SingularityNET and join a community of like-minded individuals aiming to lead the next phase of radical AI breakthroughs.

It is anticipated that the R&D grants will be appealing to advanced research students, as well as to AI researchers and engineers in emerging and developing countries, in line with the inclusive values of SingularityNET's partner ecosystem.

SingularityNET, a leader in decentralised AI infrastructure and a founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance, is launching the scheme through SingularityNET's AI innovation fund DeepFunding for individuals to create AI code designed to work with OpenCog Hyperon, an AGI framework running on SingularityNET's decentralised AI platform.

Currently, there are 13 OpenCog Hyperon Challenges open, some of which allow for multiple winners, with over $1 million in total funding available. Proposals can be submitted by December 1st, and the deadline may be extended at SingularityNET's discretion. Once that deadline is reached, the evaluation process will begin. Once awarded, grant recipients will have between three to nine months to complete their research and development, depending on the scope and complexity of the project.
