Where they stand
Views on the record but not scoreable bets: no single number and deadline to grade. Shown in their exact words, never scored.
Framed with 'it's early days, Maria, but it's very, very exciting' @0:18 and the reversal of history: 'Historically, healthcare has been somewhat slow to adopt new technologies. And we are seeing the exact opposite with AI' @0:22; examples include a study finding pancreatic cancer signs 'up to 16 months ahead of human readers' @2:15.
“There's some recent research that suggests that we're adopting this technology about two times as fast as any other industry in the American economy.”
A live on-air correction of the host's assertion that 'you're already seeing the longevity of people, a person's lifespan get impacted' @5:45; he had already cautioned 'There is very limited evidence, and when I say evidence, I mean robust peer-reviewed evidence... of the impact of AI in real-world patient care' @4:21, while adding 'We're all optimistic that that's what's going to happen' @6:05.
“So, it's, again, too early to say. I think that's too strong a claim to be supported by existing evidence that AI is actually prolonging folks' lifespans today.”
