FAR.AI YouTube channel

The FAR.AI YouTube channel (handle: @FARAIResearch) serves as the public video distribution arm for FAR.AI, a technical AI safety research and education nonprofit founded in July 2022 and headquartered in Berkeley, California. The channel provides free access to recordings of expert talks and panel discussions on AI safety topics. The channel primarily hosts two categories of content. First, recordings from the FAR Seminar series, a weekly event held in person at FAR.Labs (FAR.AI's Berkeley co-working space) and streamed remotely. Seminar speakers have included prominent researchers such as Yoshua Bengio, Nicholas Carlini, Ethan Perez, and Evan Hubinger. Second, full recordings from FAR.AI's Alignment Workshop series, which has been held in cities including San Diego, Singapore, Vienna, New Orleans, San Francisco, and London, bringing together hundreds of AI safety researchers at each event. Topics covered span the four core research pillars of FAR.AI: robustness, interpretability, model evaluation, and alignment, as well as AI governance and policy. The channel is described on AISafety.com as posting talks by AI safety experts covering topics ranging from mechanistic interpretability to evaluations and governance. As a program of FAR.AI, the YouTube channel does not have a separate budget or organizational structure. FAR.AI itself had 2024 revenues of $24.3 million (per IRS Form 990) and approximately 37 core staff members across leadership, technical, operations, communications, and events/programs teams. FAR.AI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 92-0692207) primarily funded by philanthropic grants from Open Philanthropy, Founders Pledge, and Longview Philanthropy.
