The First 1,000

The first human to live for 1,000 years may have already been born. Ben Goertzel, founder and CEO of artificial intelligence firm SingularityNET, sees a large-scale shift over the coming years as super-advanced machines predict how different drugs will interact with the body. Speaking with Inverse at the Human-Level Artificial Intelligence conference organized by GoodAI in Prague, Czech Republic, Goertzel said "it's pretty clear to me" that researcher Aubrey de Grey is correct in his assertion that the first thousand-year-old person is already alive. De Grey argues that scientists need to solve seven types of aging damage, which will enable humans to receive regular top-up treatments to extend their lifespan. "It's not even that extremely visionary in the view of what longevity freaks like Aubrey and I believe, because I think we could easily be 10 or 20 years away, or even five years away from something that would let most people who took the therapy extend the lifespan by say, 10 or 20 years beyond it would be otherwise," Goertzel says.
