News relevant to effective altruism

TagLast edit: 11 Oct 2023 11:40 UTC by Amber Dawn

News relevant to effective altruism collects news that is relevant to doing good effectively: for example, medical breakthroughs that might mean improvements in global health, new laws about animal welfare requirements for farms, or technology news that might have implications for AI safety.

For media coverage of the effective altruism movement, use effective altruism in the media instead.
