Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence

Description

It will soon be possible to advance intelligence through knowledge and technology, as we now advance health, living standards and lifespan.

Since intelligence determines how well problems are solved, the responsible enhancement of intelligence will make difficult problems, such as the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's and AIDS, much easier to solve. If intelligence is improved greatly, every humanitarian problem we face will be more amendable to solution.

Because AI is positioned to be the first technology to enhance intelligence significantly, the Institute's research and community is focused on responsible AI research.

By focusing on the greatest point of impact, the ethical enhancement of intelligence to improve how well problems are solved, the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence presents a rare chance for effective philanthropy.
