we are still a long way from curing. we have been getting some reaction to all that from sir nigel shadbolt, researcher in al, professor at oxford university. he is the executive chair of the open data institute. health s a good example. drug discovery, prediction of disease, it s already performing at levels to analyse images from ct scans to x rays. there s a whole range of ways in which ai, which is great at finding patterns, great at producing outcomes, great at finding and applying the rules that might help us build better solutions, can operate to our benefit. health s a good example, but so is climate change, another existential threat. it will be the ai driven models that help us understand how the climate is changing and what we can do to ameliorate those effects. they will be hugely consequential. and one could really reel off a whole range of area where the benefits really are there to see. they ve been there for decades. we re seeing them more dramatically reveale

which is straight after this programme. welcome to hardtalk. i m stephen sackur. one of the key drivers of human thought and behaviour throughout history has been knowledge of our own mortality. from childhood each of us knows we will die. religion, philosophy and science all wrestle with that fact and have in different ways embraced the quest for immortality. my guess today, stephen cave, director of the cambridge institute for technology and humanity is at the centre of a growing debate about the merits of extending human longevity. is it wise to seek to live forever? stephen cave, welcome to hardtalk. thank you for having me. it is a great pleasure. you believe that our human awareness of our own mortality is absolutely central to the human story. why? well, all creatures strive to live on, to keep going. they would not be around us any more if they did not. the mouse that did not care about surviving would not pass on its genes. so we come for from a long line of creature
