Climate change will not wipe out humanity. But AI potentially will, says this ‘effective altruist’
William MacAskill is interviewed by the Volkskrant, as his book ‘What We Owe The Future’ is published in Dutch.
Newspapers have also welcomed the book. ‘MacAskill’s advocacy of “long-termism”, the idea that positively influencing the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time, is overwhelmingly convincing,’ writes The Guardian’s reviewer. ‘But it is also unashamedly optimistic and refreshingly realistic: this is by far the most inspiring book on “ethical living” I have ever read.’
