Thanks for asking. I see a high degree of alignment and overlap between the EA community’s framing and cause areas, and NTI’s work. At NTI, our vision is a world safe from preventable global catastrophe, and our mission is to transform global security by driving systemic solutions to nuclear and biological threats imperiling humanity. It’s been exciting for me to get to know the EA community better and I look forward to exploring ways we can leverage each others’ strengths, capacities and skills to expand our collective impact. At NTI, we have a team of some of the world’s best experts in nuclear and biosecurity risk reduction. We are happy to provide our advice and expertise to members of the EA community who are interested in bio and nuclear risk reduction.
Members of the EA community can help us build our capacity for action, through helping to build global awareness about the risks to humanity of catastrophic risks, by choosing careers in nuclear and bio risk reduction, by providing financial resources to institutions doing impactful work in this issue space, and through helping to build the political space for action. After watching the nuclear and bio fields decline for several decades, it’s great to see the building momentum of effective altruism! Many in our traditional NGO community were beginning to feel like a dying tribe trying to protect a small patch of the galaxy that humanity calls home. I think the EA community represents the new vanguard, and a new generation of ideas and energy for problem solving associated with catastrophic threats to humanity. We are excited to work together!
What do you/NTI think of as your relationship to the EA community? How can we best support each other’s work?
