Living longer, thinking better: brain longevity meets brain-based AGI. Aging societies face rising cognitive decline and Alzheimer's, which threaten lives and strain healthcare systems. In parallel, AI is moving toward more autonomous forms, raising urgent safety, transparency, and control issues. This session links both trends: P. Murali Doraiswamy outlines advances in brain longevity through early detection, prevention, and intervention. Henry Markram connects these insights to brain-based AGI via biologically grounded, explainable, testable, and governable models from the Open Brain Institute. Both argue intelligence's future depends on understanding the brain.
