  "supportingContext": "The article draws on company announcements, peer-reviewed research, and market analyses to map AI's role in longevity science, citing sources from King's College London, PubMed, GERO.AI, and Deloitte. Practitioners can apply these insights by understanding how biological aging clocks, AI-driven drug discovery pipelines, and digital twin assessments shift healthcare from reactive treatment to prevention. For business leaders, the practical takeaway is anticipating disruption to insurance models, retirement planning, and workforce dynamics as longevity technologies mature. The author balances optimism with caution, flagging biological complexity, data quality, ethics, and regulation as unresolved obstacles before lifespan predictions like 150 years become reality.",
