I realize this will step on a lot of toes, but, its time to accept that the AI will be what solves it.
Targeting aging may extend the average life expectancy more substantially than prevention or treatment of individual diseases.

Longevity Medicine: Scientists Develop Framework to Apply AI in Extending Lifespan
For centuries, scientists have tried to work on formulas to extend human life. While scientific and medical advancements have pushed the average human life expectancy to 71 years worldwide, researchers are still trying to find out if it can be extended further. Now, a group of scientists is leaning on artificial intelligence (AI) to combine conventional medicine to treat diseases and prevent them to extend longevity.
Conventional medicine has been the go-to tool for scientists to treat diseases and effectively extend life expectancy. But it has limitations too. While it can treat diseases, it’s not very effective in detecting early signs of an ailment that can reduce life expectancy. But combining AI, fundamental research and medicine could bring about a change in the research of extending human life. Dubbed as Longevity medicine, the scientists — Alex Zhavoronkov, Evelyne Yehudit Bischof and Kai-Fu Lee — proposed a framework. Their article was published in the journal Nature Aging.
Dr Zhavoronkov is a computer scientist with a doctorate in biophysics. Bischof is a practicing doctor who is researching on aging and gerooncology at the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland. Lee is known for his expertise in AI.
Scientists have proposed an artificial intelligence-based framework that can analyze millions of parameters and help fight aging.
Here’s what happened when AI and humans met in a strawberry-growing contest
A fruitful experiment.
Top strawberry growers were pitted against data scientists in a smart-agriculture competition organized by Chinese e-commerce platform Pinduoduo.
Deep learning-based assessment of student engagement could aid classroom research
Past research has identified student engagement, or the extent to which students participate and are involved in classroom activities, as a crucial factor determining both the quality of education programs and the academic performance of individual students. As a result, many educators worldwide are actively trying to devise courses that maximize student engagement.
Using artificial intelligence to predict which women will develop breast cancer
A team of researchers with members from institutions in the U.S., Sweden and Taiwan has developed an artificial intelligence system for predicting breast cancer years before tumors appear. In their paper published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, the group describes how they developed and trained their system and how well it worked when tested.
The Marines Are Loading This Mean-Looking Boat With Kamikaze Drones
If the U.S. and China ever come to blows, this vessel will play a big part in the battle.
The U.S. Marine Corps is taking a completely new tack to providing fire support during amphibious landings: unmanned boats stocked full of suicide drones.
The shipbuilder Metal Shark has announced it’s building a new type of unmanned surface vessel, which the Marines plan to equip with loitering munitions. Such a boat would act as a mobile fire support platform, servicing calls for fire with salvos of drones equipped with explosive charges.
