We’ve launched the Digital Consciousness Model (DCM)
The DCM produces probability estimates for consciousness across four systems: 2024 AI systems, the 1960s AI chatbot ELIZA, humans, and chickens. We assessed these systems by scoring 200 specific indicators drawn from 13 diverse perspectives on consciousness.

New research
Cause Prioritization: We wrote summaries of cause prioritization surveys in the US adult population and in the EA community.
Global Health and Development: We’ve publicly released three reports, on AI for health, the impacts of maternal mortality, and the landscape of water programs in LMICs, respectively.
Animal Welfare: We published two new blog posts, the first summarizing message-testing research on de-emphasizing diet change in donation appeals, and the second investigating dual-use alternative protein R&D.
