InfluenceWatch Podcast #385: Effective Altruism, AI, and Shrimp Welfare

A defining feature of the creeping leftism the country has experienced over the last several years is just that: It’s creeping, coming in on padded feet behind the scenes until Americans began to see it everywhere, in boardrooms, schoolrooms, and entertainment options. Now, there’s real concern that emerging technology like AI is embracing the ideology of woke on the sly, bringing it into the very information people seek online. Fortunately, there are organizations monitoring these things on behalf of consumers, such as Consumers Research via their Woke Alerts, which very recently sounded the alarm about a partnership between Anthropic AI and Salesforce that they say could make it easier to push left-wing ideologies on technology consumers.

Here to discuss is Will Hild, Executive Director of Consumers’ Research.
