"Average life expectancy is now in the 80's in most developed countries, so we are losing out on 15-20 years of life for most people". In episode two of Wired UK's four-part documentary series, we head to New York City to talk to Dr. Nir Barzilai and Dr. Ana Maria Cuervo, directors at the Institute for Ageing Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, about their extensive and detailed work on the biological, physiological and functional processes of ageing. We also discuss the institute's exploration into what genes are resilient to the negative aspects of ageing, as well as what impact the so-called 'miracle drug' Metformin could potentially have.

Produced by WIRED Brand Lab with Intel | How do we make communication accessible for every kind of person? Lama Nachman, Director of Intel’s Human & AI Research Lab, has dedicated decades to bridging the technological gap between those with and without disabilities. She worked alongside Stephen Hawking to create the Assistive Context-Aware Toolkit (ACAT) which enabled him to communicate and do his work more effectively even with limited mobility due to ALS. Also making a difference at Intel is Adam Munder, co-founder of OmniBridge, a software platform that allows deaf individuals to communicate with the hearing population in real-time. Providing 24/7 access to fast, affordable ASL translation, OmniBridge is ideal for a wide range of settings and when interpreters are unavailable. In supporting Adam and Lama’s work, Intel is dedicated to furthering technologies that amplify human potential and create more equity in the world.

"You can go 3 miles in a city across the US, and see a 20 year difference in life expectancy depending upon the resources in one community compared to another". In episode three of Wired UK's four-part documentary series, we explore the widening chasm between the scientific exploration of ageing and longevity, and the social and economic reality of the world in 2021. Through interviews with scientists, economists and sociologists it becomes evident that more needs to be done to close the gap between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots' if any real step forward is to be made in redefining humankind's ageing process.

"Let's say you are able to celebrate your 100th birthday, you're able to go to all the countries you've always wanted to go to, you're able to do it on your own two feet, and see your great grandchildren grow up, who wouldn't want that?" In the final episode of Wired UK's four-part documentary series, we explore the negative narrative and language surrounding ageing in the media and public policy, and why this must change.

A conversation with Bear Flag Robotics' Aubrey Donnellan and Lyft's Jody Kelman.

What is a robot? Well, it doesn't always look like a human. In fact, different roboticists have different definitions. But most agree that a robot needs to be a physical machine that can sense the world around it, and make at least some decisions on its own. In the next few years, we're going to start seeing robots that make decisions entirely on their own - fully autonomous robots. Many fear that these kind of robots will breed dangerous results: can we trust a robot that makes all decisions for us? Or should humans and robots share the control?
