In this episode we talked about open source the risks and benefits of open source AI models. We talk about:
- Life-saving health technologies which probably won't exist in 5 years (without a concerted effort) — like a widely available TB vaccine, and bugs which stop malaria spreading
- How R&D for neglected diseases works —
- How much does the world spend on it?
- How do drugs for neglected diseases go from design to distribution?
- No-brainer policy ideas for speeding up global health R&D
- Comparing health R&D to public health interventions (like bed nets)
- Comparing the social returns to frontier (‘Progress Studies’) to global health R&D
- Why is there no GiveWell-equivalent for global health R&D?
- Won't AI do all the R&D for us soon?
