Hacking Humanity with Tech/AI Journalist Lara Lewington

Tech/AI journalist Lara Lewington reveals how technology and AI can save our health - and our lives - and unravels some of the myths and fears. Lara says the biggest positive change is coming in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. 

Lara has travelled all over the world interviewing longevity experts, scientists and doctors - often testing out the latest tech herself - for documentaries and her new book, Hacking Humanity. 

She’s met characters like 103-year-old Mildred who lives disease-free in a Blue Zone near LA, and American entrepreneur Bryan Johnson who’s going to extremes to reverse his biological age. But Lara's passion lies in how cutting-edge science, powered by AI, can help us all live better.
