A new study from the Harvard Business Review sheds light on how major AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, are manipulating the advice they offer. This raises critical questions about the veracity of information from these artificial intelligence tools. The findings bring to the forefront concerns about AI deception and AI ethics, urging us to question whether every response from a large language model is factual or fabricated. What does this mean for the future of AI chatbots and the information we consume?

What if aging isn’t just biology…but also psychology — and your brain is quietly shaping how fast you age every day?
Dr. Srini Pillay, MD (https://drsrinipillay.com/) is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, brain researcher, entrepreneur, author, and expert in the science of human potential, resilience, and longevity.
Dr. Pillay previously served as Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and directed both the Outpatient Anxiety Disorders Program and the Panic Disorders Research Program in Brain Imaging at McLean Hospital, one of the world’s leading psychiatric institutions.
Over the course of his career, Dr. Pillay has focused on understanding how the brain shapes performance, creativity, emotional health, leadership, and even biological aging. His work bridges neuroscience, psychiatry, technology, and human behavior — translating cutting-edge brain science into practical tools for individuals, organizations, and healthcare systems.
Dr. Pillay is the co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Reulay (https://www.reulay.com/), an AI-driven digital therapeutics and mindset technology company focused on healthy longevity, stress reduction, and human performance. He is also founder of the NeuroBusiness Group (https://nbgcorporate.com/), where he works with leaders and organizations around the world on brain-based approaches to innovation, adaptability, resilience, and navigating complexity in the age of AI.
Dr. Pillay is the author of several influential books including Tinker Dabble Doodle Try (https://www.amazon.com/Tinker-Dabble-?tag=lifeboatfound-20… which explores the neuroscience of creativity and the untapped power of the brain’s unconscious processing systems.
She says she reversed 20 years of biological aging by testing gene therapy on her own body before anyone else. In this episode of The 200 Year Life Project, Gary Leland sits down with Elizabeth Parrish, founder and CEO of BioViva, the first person to undergo gene therapy specifically aimed at reversing aging.
Gary, 71 and dead serious about reaching 200, talks with Parrish about how telomere and myostatin gene therapy works, what her published telomere data showed, why these therapies are still done outside the US, and how she believes affordable gene therapy could change human lifespan and healthspan. They also get into longevity escape velocity, the \.
“You have many different cells playing different parts,” said Dr. Dino Di Carlo, the Armond and Elena Hairapetian Professor and Chair of Bioengineering at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering. “A healthy tissue emerges when those parts are coordinated — when cells listen and respond to one another in the right way.”
But when those signals are misheard or go out of sync, the results can be devastating. In fibrosis, a misfiring message drives cells into a scar-producing overdrive, stiffening lungs, hearts and kidneys. In cancer, tumor cells can distort the score, sending molecular signals that suppress or misdirect immune attack. What sounds like harmony in health can become discord in disease.
Now, in a perspective published in Nature Biotechnology, Di Carlo and colleagues from UCLA, USC and Caltech are calling on the scientific community to join the Billion Cell×Cell Project — an effort to understand the cellular symphony one duet at a time, by systematically mapping how individual pairs of cells influence one another.
Agentic workflows are artificial intelligence-powered software systems that chain together multiple models and external tools to tackle complicated tasks, like analyzing a video and answering questions about it. But the way these highly fragmented systems are designed and deployed often causes inefficiencies that can lead to wasted computation, energy and cost.
To improve efficiency, researchers from MIT and Microsoft developed an intelligent system that streamlines the process of designing agentic workflows and automatically optimizes how those workflows are implemented. With this new method, a developer can describe what they want the agentic workflow to do in plain language, without needing to specify all the details of their application in advance.
The system automatically figures out the best models and tools to use, as well as the ideal hardware configuration and computational resource allocation when the workflow is executed by a cloud provider. It adjusts those configurations on the fly based on each user’s priorities, such as minimizing costs or maximizing speed.
