The evolution of effective altruism

The Economist has published a feature examining how effective altruism, the philanthropic movement that urges donors to maximise measurable impact, has grown from a niche idea into a globally influential force shaping billionaire giving, AI-safety funding and public policy debates. Commentators are weighing the movement's evolution, its successes in redirecting billions toward high-impact causes, and the criticism it has attracted over its priorities and methods.

Why now: A new high-profile Economist feature is prompting fresh debate about the movement's influence and direction.
