Anti-Aging - Researchers Might be Closer than You Think (DW News)

"Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize drug discovery, making it faster and more efficient. It's being used to speed up the initial stages of identifying potential drugs, especially in the context of aging and related diseases. Research into senolytics, which target the so-called "zombie cells" associated with aging, is a prime area where AI can assist. However, AI's impact is mostly limited to the early stages of drug development, with later stages like clinical trials still being time-consuming. The ethical implications of extended healthspan, as opposed to lifespan, are significant. The ultimate aim is to improve the quality of life, known as healthspan, rather than merely extending life."
