This is such a great initiative ever since you published the EA MH map of all the various groups and people in the space, and now these flash talks & gatherings have been very fruitful. My organization has benefited tremendously already. Momentum is building and soon the main EA conversation about AI will be about how we're using it to aid therapists, language agnostically, across cultures!!
Hi team, i'm sorry to have missed the meeting due to work committments. I saw that you may have recorded the session, is it possible to share the recording via email? Id be really interested in connecting with others working in this space (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahjane-sj-tierney/)

TL;DR:
* When we started Rethink Priorities (RP) in 2018, our mission was, simply put, to close the knowledge gaps that stopped people from improving the world as much as they could. That hasn’t changed much, but the landscape we’re doing it in is shifting.
