      At the same time, the vitality of democracy depends on harnessing new technologies to improve democratic institutions, not just responding to risks. A truly mature and successful implementation of AI has the potential to reduce bias and be fairer for everyone.

      I don't see why this wouldn't be a capability based on my current understanding of AI. If the formation of the AI system and the data that it's built on lack bias, there is seemingly no reason for the system to later develop any new biases and either way that's something the system can be monitored for as a precaution.

      Elimination of most cance

      I've briefly seen that potentially they've developed an AI system that can detect breast cancer years before it actually starts to become a tumor or problem.

      This might suggest a pessimistic perspective on what AI can accomplish. But biomedicine is unique in that although the process of developing drugs is overly cumbersome, once developed they generally are successfully deployed and used.

      For most cases in this area there is no outside factors that are evolving rapidly. One of the big risks of AI is bias which medically since it is based almost solely on biology there shouldn't have any impact on the deployment.

      experiments and hardware design have a certain “latency” and need to be iterated upon a certain “irreducible” number of times in order to learn things that can’t be deduced logically. But massive parallelism may be possible on top of that

      If it ends up developing this far I think the success rate of what could be discovered is endless but I think the driving factor of that will be the parallelism especially since as mentioned experiments take so long that in the time one is being done there are so many other things that can be ran and tested as well but we don't have the people or resources to do so right now.

      Biology and physical health

      From what I've seen theres already been quite a bit of really positive uses of AI to come from this area that can be big break throughs in the medical field.

      Many of the implications of powerful AI are adversarial or dangerous, but at the end of it all, there has to be something we’re fighting for, some positive-sum outcome where everyone is better off, something to rally people to rise above their squabbles and confront the challenges ahead. Fear is one kind of motivator, but it’s not enough: we need hope as well.

      Theres obviously a use for AI and a positive purpose that it can serve or there wouldn't be a need or desire to develop it in the first place. As mentioned though despite that need that doesn't mean any risks or fears should be ignored
