"Then Dr. Alex Zhavoronkov, on a panel on life span and health span, said... " The biggest impact on your health is your number answer to a question." Antenna up. Can you guess the question? I didn't! " How long do you think you will live?" Read it again, give it a think and give your answer out loud. The longer you expect to live, the younger you'll behave and the better you take care."
"Dr. Zhavoronkov went on to say some people suggest that AI and Super AI are going to radically affect our life spans and health spans even in the next few years. They'll accelerate research, find breakthroughs, cure cancer, touch reverse aging, etc. But he said "Our projections are in the next 10 years, that is not going to happen. But in the 10 years after that, it will." Then he looked around the audience and said "Many of you will make it to 130.""
Perceived expected lifespan strongly influences health behaviors and decision-making. People who expect to live longer tend to behave younger, invest in preventive care, and make lifestyle choices that extend health span. Near-term projections for AI-driven biomedical breakthroughs suggest limited impact within the next decade, with substantial acceleration and possible reversal of aging processes expected in the following decade. Anticipation of much longer life alters career planning, retirement timing, education, and risk-taking. Individuals may unconsciously make choices that fulfill their lifespan expectations. Considering the plausibility of reaching ages like 130 prompts reassessment of life priorities and long-term commitments.
