The last year seems to have changed the timeline of AI, according to a regular survey of published computer scientists working in AI:

In 2016, the median date for when AI would exceed humans at all tasks was 2061. In 2022, it was 2060

In 2023, it was 2047. (10% chance by 2027!)

Breaking into a new space can be overwhelming, and we often get asked what advice we have for new social impact builders looking to dive into #Web3 🤔

While not claiming to be an expert in all thing Web3, here are five pieces of advice learned from interviewing 140+ leaders & building Crypto Altruism!

💫 1. The space is new, and everyone is still learning - you don't need to be an expert in everything Web3 to make an impact.

🛠️ 2. No matter your skillset, there is a place for you in Web3. You don't need to be a super coder or mathematician!

⚖️ 3. Web3 is 24/7 and fast paced - so set boundaries and find a balance that works for you.

🤝 4. Successful projects take an interdisciplinary approach to building - which includes engaging with diverse stakeholders.

🫂 5. Find a community that aligns with your interest, and learn by contributing!

"What should philanthropy be doing in the face of distressing scenes from Israel and Gaza? That’s the question many are asking. Yet the philanthropic world seems eerily silent, paralysed by inaction."
