Toby Ord is a moral philosopher focusing on the big picture questions facing humanity. Born in Australia, he is a Senior Research Fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University. He is the founder of Giving What We Can and co-founder of the Effective Altruism movement, which has raised more than a hundred million pounds for some of the world’s most deserving causes. In 2020, alongside Shonda Rimes, Kanye West and JK Rowling, he was included on the Financial Times's 'the good list', which highlights the work of the world's ten most inspiring philanthropists. He has also advised DeepMind, the World Health Organisation, the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, the US National Intelligence Council and the UK Prime Minister’s Office, among others. He lives in Oxford.

Toby Ord is today’s Carl Sagan. Clear and inspiring, this book leaves us hopeful for a flourishing human future

1. 5/5

   Mänsklighetens hittills största utmaning

   Med stor marginal den viktigaste bok jag stött på. Vi står inför ett stup, enorma risker orsakade av oss själva av nuvarande och snart kommande teknologier. Vår tid är avgörande för om vi lyckas ta oss bort från stupet, står kvar vid stupet, eller faller ner. För altruister kan man hitta mer läsning från 80000 Hours, samt mer konkreta rekommendationer på hur man kan bidra med att lindra riskerna som tas upp i boken.
