About the program

Hi! We’re Chana and Aric, from the new 80,000 Hours video program.

For over a decade, 80,000 Hours has been talking about the world's most pressing problems in newsletters, articles and many extremely lengthy podcasts.

But today's world calls for video, so we’ve started a video program[1], and we’re so excited to tell you about it!

80,000 Hours is launching AI in Context, a new YouTube channel hosted by Aric Floyd. Together with associated Instagram and TikTok accounts, the channel will aim to inform, entertain, and energize with a mix of long and shortform videos about the risks of transformative AI, and what people can do about them.

We hope to bring our own personalities and perspectives on these issues [...]
