I was looking at the amazing computational advances of Nvidia’s new A200 chips, which will enable “agentic AI”. Agentic AI is where you can assign an AI assistant to independently take on an assigned task which could involve multiple steps and “modalities” i.e. text/visual/video/audio, access the internet live, check it results and report back –…
I’m a big fan of Liz Parrish, CEO of BioViva. A true pioneer in the world of slowing and reversing aging, she recently wrote an article called, Endless Returns: BioViva, Gene Therapy, and the Global Economy. The article explores the revolutionary potential of gene therapy in addressing aging and its economic implications. Longevity-enhancing interventions can…
AI-enabled robots are evolving to become essential companions and assistants in daily life, particularly addressing loneliness among the elderly. These robots will perform various tasks while providing emotional support. Despite ethical challenges, their benefits are expected to significantly enhance human quality of life.
Why Improving Healthy Longevity Is Important Imagine a world where people enjoy longer, healthier lives. With the progress in anti-aging research, this is increasingly becoming a reality. Moreover, it could represent a windfall of over $37 trillion for the United States alone! A study by Scott et al. (2021) titled “The economic value of targeting…
Image thx to Dall-E 3 Personal AI assistants are already showing up via smart chatbots that have been fed with appropriate data uploads. The chat bot can respond in an intelligent fashion from the corpus of data that was uploaded. May seem cute at first, but this is just the beginning. We are quickly moving…
The future of pensions in the age of life extension is a complex and multifaceted issue that will require the collective effort of governments, financial institutions, and individuals to navigate successfully
As we stand on the brink of unprecedented technological advancements, the concept of retirement is undergoing a radical transformation. The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and breakthroughs in medical science are setting the stage for a future where living healthier, longer lives is not just a dream but an impending reality. Here are some of…
The pandemic will very likely speed up the time when people’s healthy life span (or healthspan) is further extended. Impacts to retirement are huge.
Why Do We Pay More Attention to Viruses Vs. Aging? Pandemics lead to increased contemplation of death. A surprising result may be the acceleration of life extension and age reversal therapies! Recently, the number of world-wide casualties to Covid-19 went over 100,000. Somewhere over 80% of people who die from the virus are over the…
A continuing flow of promising research on aging points to a growing likelihood that healthy life spans will soon get a significant boost. It is also possible that initial progress in extending “health spans” by a few years will unfold further into “longevity escape velocity” – where remaining life span gets increased by more than 1…
