Vitalik Buterin discusses his donation to FLI and differences in AI risk perspectives

In 2021, Vitalik Buterin received more than 1 billion USD worth of SHIB tokens, donating half to FLI. He expressed concerns about the shift in FLI’s approach towards political actions and the potential risks associated with these actions.

Buterin highlighted the necessity of open-source technologies for the safety of humanity and allocated about 40 million USD for their development. He believes that the recent initiatives by FLI reflect a constructive philosophical approach towards AI.
