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

OpenAI trained a new artificial intelligence model called GPT-4b micro with longevity science startup Retro Biosciences. trying to extend human life by 10 yearsaccording to MIT Technology Review.

Retro, that is Supported by Sam Altmanhas been working on this research with OpenAI for about a year, according to the report. The GPT-4b micromodel seeks to reengineer a specific set of proteins—called Yamanaka factors—that can transform human skin cells into youthful-looking stem cells. Retro believes that these proteins are a promising step towards building human organs and supplying replacement cells.

The model is slightly different from Google Nobel Prize-winning Alphafoldthat predicts the shape of proteins, but appears to be OpenAI’s first model specifically designed for biological research. OpenAI and Retro told MIT Technology Review that they plan to release a study on the model and its results.
