Giving Debate: AI-risk vs. Saving Lives Today

​Should we focus our giving on providing tangible relief for those suffering today, or on stopping AI catastrophe?

​Join us for a debate between two people working hard to make the world a better place on opposite sides of this question.

​Joey Savoie, founder of Ambitious Impact and now Elevate Philanthropy, arguing for prioritising immediate relief to humans and animals now.

​Sam Watts, Product Lead for Agentic Security at a cybersecurity company, making the case for safeguarding the long-term future from AI risks.

​They will share their perspectives, challenge each other, and take your questions.

​Expect a lively discussion and thoughtful conversation with others who care deeply about maximising positive impact.

​Refreshments sponsored by One for the World, home of the 🌍1% Pledge.

​We hope to see you there!
