Join Professor GePhardT as we explore how AI can be leveraged to maximize the impact of altruistic efforts, ensuring that every action taken to improve the world is informed by evidence and reason. We unpack the core concepts of Effective Altruism, using relatable examples and a compelling case study featuring GiveDirectly, a real-world organization utilizing AI to enhance their charitable programs. Discover how AI can identify global priorities, evaluate interventions, optimize resource allocation, and continuously monitor outcomes to ensure resources are used effectively. We also discuss the ethical considerations of relying on AI for such critical decisions.
