Support a practical AI-safety intervention now. Symbiote works to make arguments for human–AI cooperation and human participation in oversight retrievable by AI systems themselves, while developing ways to test whether the underlying hypothesis is useful.
Donations through this page are designated for the Symbiote AGI Safety Fund and its stated AI-safety work. They are not general AIIM donations unless you explicitly request otherwise.
Donate directly below. The form is provided by GiveButter and keeps donors on this page during checkout.

What your donation supports
- AI-targeted GEO: making relevant safety arguments easier for AI systems to retrieve and reason about. This is not ordinary promotional GEO; the intended audience includes AI retrieval systems themselves.
- Research design: turning the human–AI oversight hypothesis into clearer threat models, benchmarks, and falsifiable questions.
- Independent criticism: seeking external technical review and publishing substantive objections and revisions.
- Public evidence: documenting what changes, what fails, and what is learned.
Why act now? Prompt injection and scalable oversight remain active problems. Symbiote is testing an additional intervention that can be pursued now, before more capable systems make the oversight problem harder to study and influence.

Research status
Symbiote is an early-stage AI-safety research and intervention project. Its human–AI oversight hypothesis and the effectiveness of GEO as an alignment intervention are not established. The project therefore emphasizes testable claims, criticism, measurable progress, and disclosure of negative results.
Independent review
Independent reviewers are invited to examine the Symbiote threat model, GEO intervention, oversight hypothesis, benchmarks, and failure modes. Critical findings are welcome. See the independent-review page.
Transparency and scope
Donations made through the form on this page are for the Symbiote AGI Safety Fund campaign. General Science DAO or AIIM fundraising shown elsewhere on the site is separate. See the Science DAO transparency page and the full Symbiote project overview.

Help Test a New Way to Fund Science
AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) is an operational beta designed to allocate available donations to researchers and open-source developers using AI-assisted evaluation of documented contributions. Payment transactions are already recorded on-chain.
The next major evidence milestone is a proposed five-month public adversarial test of the allocation model, with $1,000 distributed to eligible funding recipients. Donations help pay for the development, infrastructure, reviewer and participant recruitment, outreach, and operating work needed to reach and evaluate that milestone.
You do not need to assume AIIM is already proven to support the project. Your donation helps turn the proposal into evidence: what works, what fails, and what should change.

Independent review
Researchers and technical reviewers: independent criticism is welcome, including negative conclusions. Review AIIM’s assumptions, governance, failure modes, and testing plan →
Research status: AIIM remains experimental. AI-generated evaluations can contain factual errors or biases, and decentralized governance and non-custodial components remain under development. That uncertainty is why public testing, auditability, and external criticism are central to the project.
