AI能战胜衰老吗？
核心结论
两种押注，目标都是让老化的细胞像年轻细胞一样工作。Life Biosciences使用山中伸弥最初的那组基因，已率先进入人体。NewLimit则用计算机搜索，寻找能让细胞变年轻、又不改变细胞类型的基因，这条路线也许更合乎逻辑，但合乎逻辑不等于得到证明。这场搜索由内部人士出资，距离任何产品问世还有数年，出资时的估值按首席执行官的说法约为31亿美元。普通投资者目前还无法参与。
AI能战胜衰老吗？由Coinbase首席执行官Brian Armstrong联合创办的NewLimit，赌的是用计算机搜索，能找到比诺贝尔奖背后那批基因更好的、让老化细胞重返年轻的基因。它的第一个目标是衰老的肝脏，而不是更长的寿命。NewLimit称，这项搜索找到了一种药物，能让老年小鼠像年轻小鼠一样从酒精中恢复过来。NewLimit尚未在人体上测试任何东西，计划在2027年开展首次试验。
