80,000 Hours' aim is to help people find careers that tackle the world's most pressing problems. To do this, one thing we do is maintain a public list of what we see as the issues where additional people can have the greatest positive impact. We've just made significant updates to our list. Here are the biggest changes: We've broadened our coverage of particularly pressing issues downstream of the possibility that artificial general intelligence (AGI) might be here soon.| 80,000 Hours
I’m writing a new guide to careers to help AGI go well. Here's a summary of the key messages as they stand.| benjamintodd.substack.com
About half of people are worried they'll lose their job to AI. And they're right to be concerned: AI can now complete real-world coding tasks on GitHub, generate photorealistic video, drive a taxi more safely than humans, and do accurate medical diagnosis. And over the next five years, it's set to continue to improve rapidly. Eventually, mass automation and falling wages are a real possibility.| 80,000 Hours

I'm writing a new guide to careers to help artificial general intelligence (AGI) go well. Here's a summary of the bottom lines that'll be in the guide as it stands. Stay tuned to hear our full reasoning and updates as our views evolve. In short: The chance of an AGI-driven technological explosion before 2030 — creating one of the most pivotal periods in history — is high enough to act on.| 80,000 Hours
