About the podcast

The 80,000 Hours Podcast examines major global problems and ways people might help address them. Its extended interviews bring together researchers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and other practitioners. Career choices are considered alongside the merits of different causes and approaches. Artificial intelligence is a prominent topic, within a broader concern for positive impact. The show invites listeners to weigh arguments and trade-offs rather than assume that every worthwhile problem calls for the same response.
