The world?s first cryopreservation facility is based on cutting edge AI and new cryopreservation techniques. A jaw-dropping new facility would let you put your body on pause until the future. TimeShift is described as the world?s first cryopreservation facility and is based on cutting edge AI and new cryopreservation techniques. The concept could allow cancer patients to wait in stasis for medical advancements or even for humanity to outlive apocalyptic disaster. The system could use AI to let your digital avatar communicate with loved ones during cryostasis. As well as also being suitable for endangered species, TimeShift may also allow humans to travel deep into space by storing them for long periods of time. The facility is being developed by Dr. Alex Zhavoronkov, a generative AI scientist and anti-aging researcher, and Hashem Al-Ghaili, a molecular biologist and science communicator.
