The author calls on the AI community to ensure that frontier models' healthcare capabilities are never slowed down, regardless of how the broader debate about pacing the frontier plays out, arguing that "people's lives are at stake."
It's a concrete stance in the AI slowdown debate: general pacing policies shouldn't come at the cost of medical progress, and healthcare capabilities should be safely accelerated.
