A funder and convener connecting multi-agent research with governance proposals
Cooperative AI Foundation is a UK charity and company supporting research on cooperation and risks in systems with multiple AI agents. It supported the 2025 Athens Roundtable and reports hosting the speakers’ reception before the event.
CAIF reports a USD15 million philanthropic commitment from Macroscopic Ventures; payment timing and event allocation are undisclosed. Jesse Clifton, described as a Macroscopic grantmaking officer in a recipient-hosted biography, was appointed a director on 6 June 2025. CAIF reports advocating multi-agent risk monitoring in the Athens private dialogue and jointly considers applications to Scaling AI Safety for a Multi-Agent World. These are distinct funding, governance and agenda links; the House of Lords reception venue does not establish parliamentary endorsement.

Fathom is resolved to the AI-governance nonprofit at fathom.org, FEIN 93-4840479, whose own current site describes a TFS partnership on verified redlines. No inspected source assigns a 2025 Athens payment amount or grants editorial approval rights.
