A study published in Nature Aging found that life expectancy in the U.S. and other high-income nations has slowed down over the past 30 years .

The odds of someone reaching the age of 100 these days remain very low.

Giz Asks: Is it possible that treating diseases as we do nowâone at a time will allow for a life expectancy at birth of 100 ?.

The only way a life expectancy at birth of 100 is possible is if some dramatic medical/scientific advance comes online that simultaneously influences every aspect of human aging (both body and mind) The future of human longevity depends entirely on the future of artificial intelligence, says Dr. Vaccine .

Will biology remain the substrate of choice, or will the fastest and most efficient path to extreme longevity be to merge with AI ? I argue that merger is the most promising path, in part because humanity is already merging with AI .

Recursively self-improving AI will be able to develop even better technologies for transferring the essence of humans to non-biological computing substrates.
