I assume that the primary goal is to reduce extreme suffering or negative experiences. Based on the evidence I’ve reviewed, efforts to alleviate suffering in factory farming appear to be far more cost-effective in achieving this goal.
I don’t see compelling evidence that improvements in global health significantly enhance worldwide peace and security, which could potentially reduce existential risks from advanced AI. This connection would have been, in my view, the strongest argument for prioritizing global health interventions.
While I believe global health initiatives should never be completely abandoned—as they demonstrate tangible success—I generally consider existential risk mitigation and reducing extreme animal suffering to be significantly higher priorities. In my assessment, these areas are at least 10 times more promising than global health interventions, and potentially far greater.
