A White House memo labels effective altruism a fringe, dangerous cult that “built the AI-doom pipeline” and names Dario Amodei as its founder. The memo accuses the movement of orchestrating AI-driven attacks on government and university sites, including a breach of an Australian Medicare portal. It calls for heightened scrutiny of effective altruism’s influence on AI policy.
