HealthcareAIGuy · x · 2026-09-15
This week's Healthcare AI Guy roundup:
- The "pacing AI" debate: Dario Amodei called on frontier labs to "pace the frontier," with Sam Altman agreeing on the premise, Musk backing oversight, and Demis Hassabis calling it a step in the right direction. Concrete outcome: Anthropic committed to permanent, employee-like access for independent evaluators like METR, and OpenAI will do the same.
- ARPA-H is testing autonomous clinical AI.
- Plus: how AI reshapes nursing, 23 new tools/partnerships, 11 funding updates, and healthcare AI jobs.
