Our analysis suggests that opportunities to drive better world outcomes by improving institutional decision-making are relatively concentrated among a small number of organizations.

Each profile covered the institution’s organizational structure, expected or hypothetical impact on people’s lives in both typical and extreme scenarios, future trajectory, and capacity for change.

At the outset of this exercise, we faced a major logistical challenge, which is that there are millions of organizational entities that could qualify as “institutions” by our definition. We knew that applying our prioritization framework separately to each of these would not be feasible, so we needed a not-completely-arbitrary way to whittle this massive set of potential contenders down to a list short enough to fit our bandwidth constraints.

Its users leverage the company’s platforms to connect, share information, and express themselves in a kind of digital public square, which in turn enables all sorts of offline ripple effects ranging from organizing protests to catalyzing distributed emergency response to spreading propaganda. Meta’s (usually automated) choices about what content to promote, ignore, and censor, especially from high-profile figures, thus can have significant social and geopolitical consequences.

EIP will be further exploring the potential of this new model in the coming year as we continue our work to establish a global observatory for institutional improvement opportunities.

We also intend to expand the number of institutions captured by our analysis and the quality of that analysis, increasing the number of institutional profiles that merit “Robust” and “Enhanced” designations and drafting new profiles of previously uninvestigated institutions.

or example, some speculative strategies/outcomes that could be both feasible and plausibly high-impact based on our research might include: • Creation of a cross-partisan "future generations caucus" in the US Congress focused on existential risks, modeled after similar work in the UK Parliament • Ensuring that Alphabet's corporate board of directors is well-educated about AI safety issues  • Helping the World Health Organization implement the recommendations for strengthening global preparedness for future pandemics from the WHO’s independent evaluation of its response to COVID-19 • Facilitating the creation of a unit focused on existential risks from novel technologies within the US National Security Council
