Aging and AI Aleksey Turchin proposed limiting AI to help fight aging. He suggests setting a boundary for AI capabilities so that technologies can assist in combating aging while keeping humans in control. Turchin's personal benchmark is an intelligence quotient of around IQ 200; a level of 300, in his opinion, would accelerate the development of nanotechnology. In discussions about AI safety, the usual debate is about the upper limit: what capabilities are too dangerous to give to a machine. In response to Emile P. Torres, Turchin proposes adding a lower limit: what possibilities should be preserved to seek ways to stop aging. For him, the main enemy is death; AI and nanotechnology are needed to work with matter at the molecular level and seek a way to prevent it. Turchin does not propose removing limitations, but rather setting them so that AI remains strong enough for aging research and limited enough for human control. A similar dilemma was faced by Eliezer Yudkowsky: he allowed for huge expenditures on risky life extension science, but not risky AGI as its tool. Turchin chooses a different threshold of acceptable risk, as seen in his earlier article on "biozагрузка" cited in Nature Aging, July 2026. 🔗 Read original →
