REALISING POTENTIAL
Jason started the fellowship with a commitment to making a big difference, but
without a clear path. His research helped him notice the lack of global
governance of artificial intelligence (AI), so his project proposed an
International AI Agency. After getting expert feedback and revising his
approach, he flew to Geneva to meet key stakeholders and co-authored a report
for the United Nations.

NEARLY 50% OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) RESEARCHERS PUT THE ODDS OF
CATASTROPHIC HARM FROM ADVANCED AI AT GREATER THAN 1 IN 10.1
AI could help solve humanity's greatest challenges, from healthcare to climate
change. However, without proper safeguards and oversight, advanced AI could also
pose a large risk to our survival. To maximise the benefits of AI while avoiding
potential downsides, we must develop AI safely and responsibly; our shared
future depends on it.

1: Stein-Perlman et al., (2022) 2022 Expert Survey on Progress in AI, AI Impacts
INSTITUTIONAL INCENTIVES FREQUENTLY MISALIGN WITH HUMANITY'S LONG TERM
INTERESTS.
Our challenges know no borders; most policy stays constrained within them.
Technology outpaces policy; governance struggles with myopia. While progress
accelerates, policy plays catch up. But if we can spread concern for the global
rather than parochial good, improve incentives to act in our long term
interests, and facilitate cooperation on key issues, we can rise to our
collective challenges.

ADVANCEMENTS IN SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY COULD HELP BAD ACTORS DEVELOP A VIRUS THAT IS
AS INFECTIOUS AS COVID-19 AND AS LETHAL AS SMALLPOX.
The COVID-19 pandemic cost the lives of more than 15 million people.2
It won’t be the last pandemic, and it may not be the worst to come. There’s
always some risk of a new naturally occurring disease, but modern technology
like CRISPR makes it easier than ever to make pathogens more infectious or
deadly than those we’ve faced before. Without safeguards, this could even happen
by accident!

2: Edouard et al. (2021) Excess mortality during the Coronavirus pandemic
(COVID-19), Our World in Data
EXPERT FORECASTERS PREDICT A 38% CHANCE OF A GLOBAL CATASTROPHE THIS CENTURY.3
Humanity is 200,000 years old; earth will remain habitable for 100s of millions
more. If we mitigate existential risks, the future could hold millions of
generations, an end to disease & poverty, and flourishing beyond imagination.
Since splitting the atom, humanity has gained the means to destroy our own
ecosystem. We now face more risks of a similar calibre: climate change,
biological threats, and advanced AI. Our choices will determine whether human
history begins or ends.

HOW CAN WE USE OUR LIMITED RESOURCES TO MAKE THE BIGGEST POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE
WORLD?
Every year, billions of dollars and millions of hours are spent on trying to
make the world a better place. But some ways are much more effective than
others. How can we find out which ones?
This is the central question that global priorities research (GPR) tries to
answer. GPR is an academic discipline that applies rigorous methods and
evidence to help us identify the most pressing problems, the most effective
solutions, and the most promising opportunities for doing good.

HELP MORE PEOPLE HAVE A BIGGER IMPACT ON THE WORLD.
Many people want to help others, but they often don’t know how they can best do
so. Effective altruism is a growing social movement dedicated to using evidence
and reason to figure out how to benefit others as much as possible.
Promoting effective altruism means growing the community of people who are
acting on these ideas to have more impact. This often looks like working on some
of our high-impact focus areas, such as biosecurity and the threats of advanced
artificial intelligence. By helping more people do good effectively, you can
multiply how much you would have achieved working directly on important
problems.

MANY OF THE WORLD’S MOST PRESSING PROBLEMS AREN’T WIDELY KNOWN OR WORKED ON.
What problems are missing from this list?
This is not just a hypothetical question. Fellows receive expert guidance to
explore and work on whichever problems they think are the most pressing (with
the exception of projects we think are likely to be harmful).
Indeed, many of our prize-winning fellows worked on projects not on this list.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR?
We empower some of this generation’s sharpest thinkers to use their talents to
address vexing social challenges.
We look for applicants who demonstrate:
• World-changing ambitions: Producing a meaningful improvement in humanity’s
plight is not trivial – it will likely take decades of hard work. We look for

analytically about complex problems. You can demonstrate this with the quiz and
critical thinking tasks in our application.

world works, and what you can do to change it.
