One could equally maintain that if nobody builds it, everyone dies
I think this is sort of false. There are probably many low hanging fruit ways to increase longevity and quality of life and it is at least immaginable that we could get close-ish to immortality without AI. If we produce really smart human researchers they could extent lifespan by centuries allowing each person to take advantage of even more progress. Eventually, we might upload human consciousness or do something like that.

Also cyronics is an option
