This week, I officially signed up for an unusual competition. One that rewards competitors for getting younger<\/em>.<\/p>\n I recently turned 40, and I don\u2019t need reminding that both time and my chronological age only tick forward. But this game is focused on competitors\u2019 biological ages<\/em>, figures that are meant to provide a better way to measure the age-related health of our organs and bodies.<\/p>\n Over six months, around 500 of us will try to reverse our biological age using a bunch of different measures. There\u2019s even a leaderboard! But is it even possible to measure whether someone is getting younger?\u00a0<\/p>\n Read the full story on the controversy around biological age measurements and how I\u2019ll test them myself.<\/p>\n This <\/strong>story<\/strong> is from The Checkup, our weekly biotech newsletter. <\/strong>Sign up<\/strong> to receive it in your inbox every Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2014Thore Graepel<\/em><\/p>\n Ten years ago, I watched a program I helped build stun the world by beating Go champion Lee Sedol. AlphaGo won after making a move so strange that some commentators thought it was a programming glitch. It was AlphaGo\u2019s powers of reasoning that made this creative choice\u2014and these are powers that today\u2019s AI lacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n This is why I recently left my position at Google DeepMind. I believe we need a fresh approach to machine reasoning, one that draws on AlphaGo\u2019s architecture.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n #Download #biological #deaging #contest #LLMs #dont #reason<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This week, I officially signed up for an unusual competition.
