A compiled page titled "All leaders on curing cancer" collects public promises from AI leaders about curing cancer with AI: Musk replied "AI will do it," Dario Amodei repeatedly said "the thing that will work is actually curing cancer," Demis Hassabis talked about focused scientific AI systems delivering cures, Reid Hoffman cited drug discovery, and Sam Altman suggested having AI do a bunch of cancer research.
The responder quipped whether every new platform tech or bio model release should also be run against such a benchmark — poking at when these cancer-curing promises will actually be tested.
