OpenAI is trying to extend human life, with the help of a longevity startup

OpenAI says it has trained a new AI model called GPT-4b micro with Retro Biosciences, a longevity science startup. attempts to extend human life by 10 yearsaccording to MIT Technology Review.

Retro, that is supported by Sam Altmanhas been working with OpenAI for about a year on this research, according to the report. The micro model GPT-4b tries to enhance the proteins ​​​​​​ – a specific set called Yamanaka factors – that can transform human skin cells into stem cells that look young. Retro believes that these proteins are a promising step towards building human organs and providing replacement cell supplies.

The model differs slightly from Google AlphaFold, Nobel Prize winnerthat predicts protein shape, but appears to be the first OpenAI model to be built specifically for biological research. OpenAI and Retro tell the MIT Technology Review that they plan to release research on the model and its outputs.
