AI is giving longevity research a new way forward: better tools to identify potential interventions, and better ways to investigate their effects in people. Two recent papers from our team and academic collaborators illustrate that progression.
Traditional software development lifecycles (SDLC) were designed around how fast people could type and coordinate. Sprints, manual quality gates, and review handoffs made sense when writing code was the slowest part of the job.
Even as AI investment rises, many organizations don’t see the returns they expected. They might see small improvements by deploying AI tools into existing structures. But true success means thinking beyond the technology alone, reinventing tomorrow’s workflows, and putting AI to work for people.
Knowledge is what separates a good operation from a great one. It is also the hardest thing to scale, because the knowledge that matters most does not live in systems. It lives in people. The team member who knows that this client needs a call before a decision, not after.
Like it or not, most leadership roles require work-related travel, sometimes lots of it. While jet-setting to meetings and conferences sounded cool on paper, the reality of planes, trains, and automobiles can make anyone a little loopy.
I’ve been working in the tech industry for over 20 years, and for about half that time I’ve been in a leadership role. I’ve always believed that to achieve good results, it’s essential to keep an eye on teams’ wellbeing because how people feel shows up in their work.
Since I entered the cotton industry, I’ve spent nearly 200 days a year traveling to farms, mills, factories, brand headquarters, and trade meetings around the world. Many people don’t realize how global a single garment’s journey can be.

When it comes to companies and AI, the themes have been consistent. Investments and adoption are rising, but value is not materializing in the P&L. About 88% of companies have adopted AI somewhere in the business, according to Stanford’s 2026 AI Index, showing that adoption is strong.
Picture the near future, which is closer than it looks. You open an app and a car arrives with no driver and a non-useful steering wheel. The ride to the airport that costs $70 today will cost $20. Before long, you may not own a car at all.

In 1897, Georges Méliès made Gugusse et l’Automate, one of the earliest films to feature a robot. The machine grows, fights its maker, and is eventually destroyed. It set the tone. For much of the next 120 years, our impressions of robots came from the silver screen.
One of the biggest mistakes companies are making with AI is treating it primarily as a way to reduce talent, rather than as an opportunity to rethink how people and technology can work together.
