80,000 Hours is an independent nonprofit, founded in 2011 by Benjamin Todd and William MacAskill out of Oxford, that provides free research and support to help people use their careers to help solve the world's most pressing problems. The name refers to the roughly 80,000 hours a typical person works over their lifetime. It publishes an evidence-based career guide, in-depth problem profiles, a long-form podcast, and one-on-one advising, and runs a curated high-impact job board at jobs.80000hours.org. Since 2016 it has ranked helping navigate the transition to advanced AI as its top priority. It is a content and career-advice organization rather than an API producer; no public developer API is published, though it does serve a machine-readable llms.txt index of its content.
