Background
In recent years, anti-aging research has emerged as a topic of great interest in the medical field. Increasingly, scientists are convinced that again, while a natural phenomenon, can be thought of as a disease which can be treated or even cured. I am interested in studying human aging and the prospect of immortality through the utilization of artificial intelligence. What role can AI play in human aging? If such techological advances persist, can human immortality be one day become a reality? What are the implications of this in the context of being human? I will be trying to address these questions through the potential applications of AI in genetic, cellular and stem cell manipulation.
