Ozempic's Anti-Aging Potential
Ozempic, a drug for type 2 diabetes and obesity, may have anti-aging benefits.
Semaglutide, its active ingredient, could slow aging by reducing inflammation and lowering age-related disease risks.
insights INSIGHT
Ozempic's Risks
Ozempic has risks like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and a rare eye condition causing vision loss.
Healthcare professionals advise using Ozempic only under supervision for approved indications.

California's Digital Replica Bill
California's Digital Replica Bill (AB 1836) regulates AI-generated likenesses of deceased performers.
It requires explicit consent from estates before creating digital replicas and sets legal protections.

In this episode of "Discover Daily" by Perplexity, we explore new research suggesting that Ozempic, a drug primarily used for treating Type 2 diabetes and obesity, may have potential anti-aging benefits. Studies presented at the European Society of Cardiology conference in 2024 revealed that semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, could slow down biological aging by reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of age-related diseases. However, Ozempic isn't without risks, including potential vision changes and eye problems in some patients.
We also delve into California's Digital Replica Bill (AB 1836), recently passed by the state Senate, which aims to regulate the use of AI-generated likenesses of deceased performers in media. The bill requires explicit consent from estates of deceased performers before creating digital replicas and establishes legal protections against unauthorized use. This legislation is part of a broader effort in California to regulate artificial intelligence and digital rights, following the passage of AB 2602, which requires informed consent and proper representation for alive performers when they are asked to waive rights to their digital personas.
Our final segment focuses on a fascinating study from researchers at MIT and the University of California, Irvine, revealing that conversational AI powered by large language models can significantly amplify the creation of false memories in humans. The study found that generative chatbots induced nearly triple the number of false memories compared to control groups, raising important questions about the ethical use of AI in sensitive contexts like legal proceedings and clinical settings. As we continue to explore the intersection of AI and human cognition, this research reminds us of the complex and sometimes unexpected ways technology can impact our minds.
