Theory of Change

Longview believes that private markets systematically underinvest in managing catastrophic and existential risks because the dangers of advanced AI, bioweapons, and nuclear conflict affect everyone but profits are concentrated in a handful of companies and actors. Philanthropy is therefore essential for advancing the public good in these areas. By providing free, expert-led, research-driven grant recommendations to major donors, Longview channels substantial private wealth toward the most neglected and high-impact interventions for reducing existential risk. Their theory is that by identifying underfunded priority areas and catalyzing emerging fields, such as hardware-enabled AI verification mechanisms, US AI policy advocacy, and digital sentience research, they can shape the trajectory of advanced technology development and reduce the probability of catastrophic outcomes. Longview aims to ensure every grant helps as many individuals as possible, counting everyone equally including future generations.
