Step 1. Go to https://www.centreforeffectivealtruism.org/

Step 2. Click "Find a charity to donate to", which links you here: https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/best-charities-to-donate-to-...

Step 3. Read the list of cause areas

Here's a preview since apparently there are hordes of overconfident people too "busy" to follow simple steps like these:

3 cause areas: Global health & Wellbeing, Animal Welfare, Global Catastrophic Risk

Global Health:

* Malaria

* Malaria

* Vitamin A for children

* Vaccines for children

* GiveWell, an aggregator for charities similar to the prior 4

Animal Welfare:

* Fund aggregators to increase animal wellbeing by the dozens, hundreds, or thousands, or millions of living creatures' suffering

Global Catastrophic Risk:

* Research on AI risk, bioengineering risk, and nuclear risk – all of which

AI is not only listed last, but doesn't even have its own dedicated page. It's lumped in with a set of other things that many people believe are long-term risks rather than immediate term massive problems, like childhood vaccinations, malaria, or industrial animal abuse.

Hope that helps!
