Hear from Adrian Gore, Founder and Group Chief Executive of Discovery, the South Africa–based insurer behind the global Vitality model. Gore shares Discovery’s core insight about its shared-value insurance approach: “When people get healthier, they benefit – and so do we. When our members thrive, we’re more profitable.” He will introduce Vitality AI, Discovery’s new platform built with Google, designed to use advanced AI and rich health behavior data to help people live longer, healthier lives. Discovery is now partnering with Columbia Mailman School of Public Health to extend this impact even further.

THE ROBERT N. BUTLER COLUMBIA AGING CENTER VIRTUAL SERIES | AI + HEALTHY LONGEVITY
Our current series is dedicated to "AI + Healthy Longevity." The rise of artificial intelligence is set to transform health research, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation, accuracy, and efficiency. As AI becomes more deeply integrated into research and healthcare, its applications hold the power to unlock new ways of improving health outcomes across the life course – particularly in later life. From predicting risks to preventing disease and preserving function, the use of AI to promote healthy longevity is only just beginning. Yet alongside these opportunities come important challenges: ensuring data quality, promoting transparency, and addressing ethical concerns. The Columbia Aging Center’s 2025–2026 virtual seminar series, AI + Healthy Longevity, will spotlight these critical issues. Through cutting-edge talks by leading experts – from population health to medical sciences –this series will explore how AI is shaping the future of aging research and advancing the quest for healthier, longer lives.
These events are open to Columbia faculty, staff, students, alumni, and the public.
