Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, envisions a future where artificial intelligence (AI) plays a significant role in extending human lifespan and revolutionizing healthcare. In a detailed essay, Amodei explores how AI could accelerate the discovery of new treatments, including technologies that help paralyzed patients regain mobility through implants. He goes further to suggest that AI could potentially double human life expectancy, predicting a future where people live to 150, drawing comparisons to the dramatic increase in life expectancy during the 20th century.
Amodei points out that advancements in longevity research already show promising results, such as drugs that extend rats' lifespans by 50%. He argues that, while there may not be an upper limit to human life expectancy, AI will be crucial in rapidly analyzing experimental data and identifying the right aging biomarkers. By accelerating these breakthroughs, AI could help achieve what he calls "escape velocity," where humans could live as long as they desire. Additionally, Amodei believes AI could foster global harmony, improving access to education and healthcare, which would further support longer, healthier lives.
