Alex Zhavoronkov Calls for an AI-Powered Global Government to Fight Aging

On August 7, Insilico Medicine founder Alex Zhavoronkov posted a political proposal on X. He called for a global government with powerful AI capabilities. In his view, such a governing body would unite humanity as a species and allow people to focus on aging, pollution, and disasters.

Zhavoronkov connects the fight against aging with global politics. Under his model, a single governing body would make aging a shared challenge for humanity.

In his August 7 post, he described the reasoning as follows:

“We need a global government with enormous AI capabilities to unite humans as a species. Most people do not understand that their main enemy is aging. There are other enemies as well: pollution, human-caused disasters, and natural disasters. Without a global government, people will not be able to focus,” Zhavoronkov wrote.

In his argument, AI is a capability that a global government should possess. Such a governing body would unite humanity as a species, allowing people to focus on aging, pollution, and disasters.

Zhavoronkov places aging alongside pollution and disasters as shared threats that require humanity’s attention. To address them, he proposes a global government with AI capabilities.
