AI has the potential to cure diseases, stabilize the climate, and eradicate poverty. One researcher predicts that by 2029, we will reach “longevity escape velocity,” where scientific progress will allow us to extend our lives and overcome aging. AI can also aid in fighting climate change by distilling large datasets into useful information for policy-making and optimizing energy efficiency in buildings and industries. Additionally, AI can enhance healthcare by assisting in the discovery of new drugs with fewer side effects. The researchers emphasize that AI is already being used in these ways.
