Effective Altruism Meetup Toronto

Casual meetup for effective altruists, or those interested in AI safety, global poverty alleviation, human and animal welfare, and more generally making the world a better place. Whether you're brand new to EA, or a serial EAGx attendee, come share your thoughts and ideas!

Motivation: I’m hoping to connect even the most casual Effective Altruists to a broader community, and facilitate networking, friendships, and the spread of important ideas.

Call to Action: Bring your picnic blanket, and we'll hang out and chat on the grass by the baseball diamonds at the South-East end of Trinity Bellwoods Park.

Potential discussion topics:

What evidence would genuinely change your mind about the importance of AI risk?

Should the EA community market itself? How?

When should local knowledge override evidence from randomized controlled trials or global cost-effectiveness models?
