Effective altruism sees record funding despite recent turmoil. Anthropic and OpenAI IPOs are expected to create new philanthropists.
Effective altruism, a philanthropic movement that emphasizes data-driven giving, is experiencing a resurgence in funding. This comes after the movement was hit by turmoil surrounding Sam Bankman-Fried, a former key backer. The expected IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI are set to create a new generation of millionaires who are likely to support effective altruism, further boosting its funding.
The movement's focus on "earning to give" and supporting interventions that maximize good per dollar is attracting attention from the new wealthy individuals in the AI sector. As a result, effective altruism is poised to receive tens of billions of dollars in funding, a significant increase from its previous levels. This influx of funds is expected to support a range of causes, from distributing bed nets to financing other data-backed interventions.
As the IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI approach, it will be worth watching how the new millionaires created by these events choose to allocate their wealth. Will they follow the principles of effective altruism, and if so, which causes will they support? The answer to this question will have significant implications for the philanthropic landscape and the causes that receive funding in the years to come.
