AI Interpretability Frontier

Reading the internal structure of learned systems.

Why this field matters

We build systems whose internal workings nobody designed. Being able to read them would change how they are evaluated, corrected and trusted, and would give neuroscience a testbed with full observability.

How your support is allocated

Backers who chose a focus are honoured first; the rest follows these weights (demonstration values), then each target’s expected usefulness. Every batch is recorded with its reasons — most recently A-862, < $0.01 routed.
