Why the Next 10 Years May Add 50 to Your Lifespan | Dr. Derya Unutmaz

All of these things will add up and the technology and AI is going to keep accelerating. 10 years later what will happen in a year will be like what happens in 20 years of advance. Then we'll get to a point 15 maximum 20 years where we will be able to completely reverse the aging process. If you're 80 years old, 90 years old, you will get back to age 30, 40, whatever. That's going to add up 50 years or 100 years to your lifespan, and then you can keep doing that and extend it almost indefinitely.

How AI Accelerates Biology06:30

Right now especially in the last year or two since LLMs came out their intelligence have been accelerating. Initially it was fairly smaller productivity gains. For example when GPT-4 was out it would scan the literature and tell what the latest is on topics, saving hours sometimes days. As the models advanced especially after the o1 model the reasoning models started to come out and now there are GPT-5 pro model and 5.5 pro model. What happened was that now they were able to think and plan, so very sophisticated questions could be asked.

For example, given a huge biological data set with a million data points or 10 million data points, the AI goes over this, not only analyzing and grouping them, but extracting what the insight from that data is. Human minds are not able to do that. There were data sets which took months to analyze, like a PhD student working on it using deep learning, and still couldn't truly understand what that data meant. Now AI models can upload millions of data sets accumulated over years and in a matter of minutes produce not only the complete analysis but also provide incredible insight like what the data means and what the next questions to ask should be. This contracts months sometimes years of analytic work into matter of minutes or hours.

In drug design parts, every pharmaceutical company is going to eventually use AI generation for developing new drugs. Things that took years of screening of small molecules now take hours or days. AI can even generate hypotheses. AI models are now able to tell what sort of experiment should be done to address a hypothesis. Out of 100 potential experiments, AI identifies the best two because those are going to give the best output. Instead of trying 100 things for a year, just try two things for a few weeks.
