Future of Life Institute Podcast · What AI Companies Get Wrong About Curing Cancer (with Emilia Javorsky) · 20 Mar 2026 podcast

All of our cells are on different clocks.

And so when you start turning back a clock, you start getting cells that can divide more and proliferate more.

And

Actually, if you go too far, that's what cancer looks like, right?

And it's quite funny of how these two things collide, because one of the number one shortcomings to all of the efforts to date that have tried to turn back the clock is you end up with tumor formation.

And actually, a cancer cell looks a lot like a de-aged cell, right?

And so it is kind of an interesting thing in biology that, like, any time you start

really trying to do radical interventions, you tend to end up with radical side effects.

And so we have not yet figured out how to do kind of one without the other.

Yeah, so this is one of the areas that

I am super kind of excited about is like AI throughout the drug development pipeline.

And like, what does that actually mean in being able to remove friction and accelerate things?

And sort of my vision of like, where do we go is can we actually compress the time it takes to test a drug to be equal with that of the duration of the biological process we're trying to understand.

And so like if a disease takes five years to actually have an endpoint, how do we collapse that?

So our whole process is down to like the five years or close to asymptotic to that actual biological process.

And AI is making a lot of gains here.

And I think this is a point that goes really overshadowed by the ASI story.

I think there's a lot of oxygen in the room kind of being taken out by ASI.

And sort of folks claiming like the builders of frontier AI are the builders in the room.

And we are the people that are going to solve the problem.
