As we all know, speed is essential in cancer treatment, so by speeding up the analysis process and getting valuable insights to clinicians sooner, AI can enable diagnoses to be made earlier and more accurately, with lives saved.

The US leads in Advanced AI, but Beijing has taken a keener interest in AI since DeepMind’s AlphaGo beat the world’s best Go player in 2016. Are the two AI superpowers doomed to inevitable conflict? Best-selling AI author Calum Chace’s answer may surprise you.

Quantum computing is not widely understood and does not draw the same attention as AI, but it is already mighty and set to become even more so. Thus, those who have not yet done so must arm for this disruption and stand ready to reap the new opportunities it will bring.

As the world looks to the new year, one question is whether 2023 will be a year of AI ‘big bangs’ where there are major breakthroughs, or whether it is more likely to be a year where existing AI gets ‘bigger and bigger,’ improving on existing capabilities and gradually adding new ones, all while making fewer of the mistakes that have caused many people to doubt it. AI alignment will become increasingly important as humanity strives to make sure that AI’s goals still align with its own.

The Yuan contributor and best-selling AI author Calum Chace recently sat down with Ray Eitel-Porter, managing director and global lead for Responsible AI at Accenture, to get his thoughts on responsible AI, what it means, and what the firm is doing to ensure its implementation.

When people think of Saudi Arabia, they often think of its vast oil reserves and its role as one of the most important countries in the Islamic world, not to mention OPEC. Yet when it comes to AI, Saudi Arabia receives far less attention than the neighboring UAE, but in recent years it has been quietly building itself into an AI power to wean itself off oil and transform its capabilities.

Calum Chace updates and reassesses some of his predictions as to the evolution of AI in 2022, the original version of which was published at the end of 2021. The best-selling author originally predicted that the world would see better drug discovery processes, diagnostics, and understanding of human biology during the 10th anniversary year of the Big Bang in AI.

The UAE has a reputation as one of the most advanced and ambitious countries in the world. Many think of it as at the forefront of new technologies most countries would be unable or unwilling to implement. Writer and AI expert Calum Chace takes a look at the UAE’s efforts in longevity research and what this needs to succeed.

Anastasia Georgievskaya is doing important work for the longevity revolution, using AI to develop biomarkers from photos of consumers’ skin. Ironically, consumers seem more interested in offers of enhanced attractiveness than of extended lifespan.

Calum Chace examines how Sergey Young, a longevity leader, is funding research to help humans live longer, healthier, and more productive lives, with artificial intelligence and other new technologies potentially expanding the limits of what is currently possible. Will it soon become possible for humans to halt or even reverse aging, and if so, what would be the ethical ramifications of such an outcome?

Michael Antonov caught ‘the longevity bug’ after helping to found Oculus Rift, the virtual reality headgear company, and selling it to Facebook for US$2.3 billion. He went back to college and taught himself biochemistry, and now he invests in startups which are developing tools to allow us to understand the fabulously complex mechanics of our bodies.

Calum Chace presents the first in a series of articles this week on The Yuan platform predicting the evolution of AI in 2022. The best-selling author predicts in the tenth anniversary year of the Big Bang in artificial intelligence we will see better drug discovery processes, better diagnostics, and better understanding of human biology.

Progress could be made in anti-aging research if scientists had access to the necessary data. That and a critical mass of doctors accepting that aging is a disease which can be tackled. Best-selling author Calum Chace discusses the need for the medical profession to get on board with longevity, and the hurdles to be cleared before a real breakthrough can be made.

How to understand the aging process, arrest it, and reverse it, is not some crazy plotline from a dystopian science fiction movie, but real, and Dr Eva Bischof is leading pioneering research so everyone can “enjoy a healthy lifespan” and maintain “a high quality of life” in future.

Read Calum Chace narrating the story of Alex Zhavoronkov, chief longevity officer for Hong Kong-based Deep Longevity, who works tirelessly to unlock the secrets of how to arrest and reverse aging using AI.

Until the past few years, the project of reversing aging was not seen as “proper science,” and not a fit use for public funds. Aging was seen as an inevitable and permanent part of the human condition that cannot be redressed. But today there is significant investment in tackling aging and, recently, a potential game-changer has emerged thanks to the crypto currency community, which includes quite a few billionaires.

Series 7 of the phenomenally successful Apple Watch is about to be launched featuring a blood glucose measurement using terahertz electromagnetic radiation. But Apple is not the only global giant looking to use mHealth apps in the AI healthcare industry, several more are getting involved and want to play a big role in the health and wellness area.
