But do you think that's where we should end up if we're taking this seriously?
So in a sense, we've got these two families of technological breakthroughs.
One is extending life, and the other is now extending the health and the quality of life.
Yeah, exactly.
What are some of the other big society-wide economic problems
Productivity.
What are the impacts?
What does this new world look like?
But the trajectory there, if we're talking here about productivity, presumably we're talking about people in their 50s.
Yeah, exactly.
Are we saying that productivity has been worsening and health worsening?
Now, a word that came up earlier or an initialism that came up earlier was AI.
Yeah.
What role has AI been playing in whether it's on prevention or extension?
And what do you see coming down the pike over the next decade from that area as well?
With AI, a couple of concerns often come up, right?
So one is that everything you're describing here relies on having an enormous amount of data to feed into the models, both when you're training them and then when you're using them.
When people raise concerns about the amount of data that needs to be stored there digitally and the risk of security issues, you know, we had the UK biobank leak recently.
How do you think or how do you suggest people should think about the trade-offs involved there?
Because again, there's a lot of discussion here about the risks of having it all in one place and people are concerned about specifically the US tech company Palantir's role here.
