In 2019, Jonas Emanuel Müller, Vasily Kuznetsov, and Miles Tidmarsh laid the foundations of Modeling Cooperation at the AI Safety Camp. United by the goal of reducing risks from competition for the development of transformative AI, they initiated a research project which soon thereafter welcomed additional freelancers and volunteers. Since then, Modeling Cooperation has been awarded grants from Jaan Tallinn (via SFF), the Survival and Flourishing Fund, and the Center on Long-Term Risk Fund.
