About this Priority
Funding Focus
- Independent AI research and evaluation
- Open datasets, tools, and shared infrastructure
- Knowledge translation for institutions and practitioners
- Research collaboration across regions and disciplines
Open science and credible research are essential to a healthy AI ecosystem. Public-interest progress depends not only on breakthrough models, but also on transparent methods, shared infrastructure, and knowledge that others can build on.
IAIDF supports research environments that improve technical understanding while also lowering access barriers for institutions, researchers, and practitioners working in the public interest.
We are especially drawn to efforts that strengthen the commons: reusable tools, replicable methods, open resources, and collaborative research programs.
- Independent analysis of important AI questions
- Shared technical infrastructure that broadens participation
- Open publication and synthesis of useful findings
- Cross-border research collaboration with credible governance
