Within six years, AI will help humanity reach Longevity Escape Velocity and achieve biological immortality, says futurist Jose Luis Cordeiro.
"Longevity Escape Velocity" is when our lifespans are extended by technology faster than we're aging. Jose Luis Cordeiro says it'll happen around 2030.While it’s not a consensus view just yet, Venezuelan futurist Jose Luis Cordeiro says the evidence suggests death and aging really aren’t the inevitable facts of life most people imagine.
He believes that by 2045, we will start to be able to reverse aging using rejuvenation therapies on cells and organs, making us as “young” as we choose to be.Cordeiro gives a presentation on transhumanism at Google. You may have heard the factoid that every cell in your body is replaced on average every seven years. It’s not strictly true, as the 30 trillion cells in the human body are replaced at different rates. Some neurons and heart cells last your whole life, while skin cells might last a few weeks, and cells in your stomach lining are replaced within five days., after scientist Leonard Hayflick who discovered in 1961 that human cells can only divide between 40–60 times. They then enter senescence.
“So we have two types of cells, somatic cells, which are 99.9% of the body and a little tiny, tiny part, which is called the germ cells. They do not age because they do the same as cancer. They produce telomerase, and they keep on dividing indefinitely.” “Right now, scientists are working on other organs. The skin and then eyes, now heart and lungs on other species closer to humans,” he says.Senescent cells and autophagy’s role in longevity
But AIs are well suited to combing through such enormous data sets without ever growing tired and enable us to compare the results with the genomes of different mammals to work out why mice live for two years, humans for 90 and whales for 200. , which uses AI to analyze the genes of the Methuselah Flies, which have been bred to live five times longer than normal flies.
