“Humans are the only species that understand that they are aging and dying. So we try to avoid thinking about aging and we are now starting to think about prevention.”

Alex Zhavoronkov, Ph.D., is the founder and Chief Longevity Officer of Deep Longevity, Inc, a global company developing a broad range of artificial intelligence-based biomarkers of aging and longevity. He is also the CEO and Founder of Insilico Medicine.

In this episode, he explains the approach Deep Longevity and Young.ai are taking, the various clocks and machine learning methods they are using, the necessity for physician education, and coordinated building of a longevity ecosystem spanning physicians, clinics, insurers, academia, pharma, and more. He also goes into detail about a promising new interesting field of longevity psychology and connected subjective and psychological clocks.

Session summary: Longevity as a Service: AI & Aging Clocks | Alex Zhavoronkov, Deep Longevity & Insilico Medicine - Foresight Institute

The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies. Since our founding in 1987 on a vision of guiding powerful technologies, we have continued to evolve into a many-armed organization that focuses on several fields of science and technology that are too ambitious for legacy institutions to support.

Allison Duettmann is the president and CEO of Foresight Institute. She directs the Intelligent Cooperation, Molecular Machines, Biotech & Health Extension, Neurotech, and Space Programs, Fellowships, Prizes, and Tech Trees, and shares this work with the public. She founded Existentialhope.com, co-edited Superintelligence: Coordination & Strategy, co-authored Gaming the Future, and co-initiated The Longevity Prize.
