OpenAI is trying to extend human life, with help from a longevity startup

OpenAI said it trained a new AI model called GPT-4b Micro with longevity science startup Retro Bioscience. Trying to extend human lifespan by 10 yearsAccording to MIT Technology Review.

Reversed, which Supported by Sam AltmanAccording to the report, this research has been working with OpenAI for about a year. The GPT-4b micro model attempts to re-engineer proteins – a specific set called Yamanaka factors – that can turn human skin cells into youthful-looking stem cells. Retro believes these proteins are a promising step toward creating human organs and providing a supply of replacement cells.

The model is slightly different from Google’s Nobel Prize Winner Alphafoldwhich predicts the shape of proteins, but appears to be OpenAI’s first model custom-built for biological research. OpenAI and Retro told MIT Technology Review that they plan to publish research on the model and its output.
