| 2018 || September 7 || Criticism || A blog post by John Halstead of Founders Pledge, criticizing ACE's research is published at <code>effective-altruism.com</code>on the Effective Altruism Forum, stating that some of ACE’s older research is of low quality. The post also emphasizes that ACE’s research on the impact of corporate campaigns is flawed, and consequently ACE’s research does not provide much reason to believe that its recommended charities actually improve animal welfare.<ref>{{cite web |title=Concerns with ACE research |url=httphttps://effective-altruismforum.effectivealtruism.comorg/eaposts/1so/concerns_with_ace_researchzri7LsivEAqnYZ6Wt/ concerns-with-ace-research |websitepublisher =effective-altruism.com Effective Altruism Forum|accessdate=11 September 2018}}</ref> On the same date, ACE's new director of research publishes a post as a response, explaining ACE's position on its older intervention research, clarifying several points, and outlining some of ACE's research priorities for the coming year.<ref>{{cite web |title=ACE's Response to John Halstead |url=httphttps://effective-altruismforum.effectivealtruism.comorg/eaposts/1sq/response_to_john_halsteadSur4yHbkWL7bpRoby/ ace-s-response-to-john-halstead|website=effective-altruism.com Effective Altruism Forum|accessdate=11 September 2018}}</ref>
