In my day-to-day work for AMF[1], AGI timelines don’t matter. My work is about making bednet distributions more efficient and transparent, and AGIs simply don’t help with that yet.
Of course, I’m open to suggestions regarding how my work should be influenced by AGI timelines (apart from the obvious “stop it and work on AI safety instead”).
There are other technological developments that I think will affect AMF’s work, for example vaccines, gene drives, and new types of insecticides. We follow these closely. AGI itself will certainly affect bednet distributions too, once it arrives. Until then, the right thing to do IMO is to continue working hard to help as many people as possible in their fight against malaria today.

I’m speaking for myself here and not on behalf of AMF.
