Bryan Johnson and his Blueprint protocol are the focus of this Lifespan News. We explore the bold vision of Bryan Johnson, founder and CEO of Blueprint, a company committed to optimizing health and longevity through algorithmic precision. Beginning with his provocative ideas about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping the future of human health and society, Johnson argues for the benefits of handing control of our well-being over to algorithms.
We also highlight his own experience as a self-proclaimed ‘guinea pig’ in his health optimization venture. Our host, Emmett Short, provides thoughtful commentary, questioning the societal and ethical implications of Johnson’s worldview, while appreciating the pioneering efforts of Blueprint in the realm of anti-aging. Watch as we delve into Bryan Johnson’s intriguing thought experiments on future human identity and his concept of ‘zeroth principle thinking’ in a rapidly evolving ai landscape.
In the latter part of this discussion, Emmett Short and Bryan Johnson delve further into the potential impact and philosophical considerations of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) on human life and society. They question the alignment of AI and humans, the potential loss of human agency in favor of AI decision-making, and how to reconcile with AI advancement.
