Anthony, thanks for this very well thought out piece on preventing and coping with the next pandemic. Your article deserves and hopefully will get a much wider audience. What is obvious is that our response needs to be global, not subject to the political dysfunction that plagues nation states.
For many years thought leaders like Larry Brilliant have discussed the potential of using information technology to manage pandemics. My son lived in Singapore during Covid and saw the effectiveness of thier use of infotech. Today with AI and yet better communication, it would be very interesting to put together a global team to push your ideas forward. I think people like Jensen Huang an Nvidia would be a lightning rod for attracting the kind of people needed.
This is one of the most important articles you have written. Please push it forward.
Thanks Mark! Yeah, technology can be an awesome tool to react faster, but it can also create the havoc in the first place due to gain-of-function research.
Bill Gates recommends the WHO under the UN be in charge of an overall response, but I’m skeptical of both institutions as well as consolidating too much power into any one international group, which is why I’d like to see 4 separate agencies created where each one has their own focus on chemical, nuclear, biological, and AI.
I think another one of my most important articles is how I’d design such an agency to stop AI, which I’d be interested to hear your perspective given your experience on the subject: https://www.anthonygalli.com/p/how-to-stop-ai
