There are two research nonprofits working on preventing risks of extreme involuntary suffering, especially possible astronomical amounts of such in the future, primarily connected to worst-case AI scenarios: the Center on Long-Term Risk and the Center for Reducing Suffering.

How do we reduce the chance that the future may contain extreme suffering? This is not the easiest cause to explain. There is no simple photo, or one person to point to, or a dramatic rescue story. The work is mostly research, strategy, grants, and community-building.

Yet I think that's what matters, since a lot of charity goes to problems we can easily feel for. That is good in itself, but it is not always the most effective way to reduce suffering: often big money can be spent, for example, on saving one individual from some sickness, while if used effectively, the same money could help prevent hundreds or thousands from getting sick in the future. Effective altruism does far more good with the same money spent. Besides, some of the worst problems are the ones that become visible too late.

Advanced AI may end up shaping the world in ways we barely understand today. If things go well, the future could be much better than the present. If things go badly, the amount of suffering could be enormous: for humans, animals, and possibly other sentient minds we do not yet know how to think about properly.

So, the Center on Long-Term Risk works on reducing worst-case risks from advanced AI, especially dangerous tendencies in AI systems and failures of cooperation between powerful systems. While the Center for Reducing Suffering works more broadly on, well, reducing severe suffering, including research on risks of astronomical future suffering.

I am not connected to either organization, and I do not represent them. I am just creating a Monero bridge. I will directly forward 100% of the collected money, sharing strong proof. I can support my honesty with my reputation on XMR Bazaar, where I am the most reviewed seller. You are also encouraged to donate to them yourself. For example, the CRS can be supported with some cryptocurrencies via Every.org: https://www.every.org/center-for-reducing-suffering

If you think some suffering should be prevented before anyone has to experience it, please support this fundraiser with XMR. I will forward the money and show proof.
