AI set to enable designing organisms from scratch
Original: AI will make it possible to design and build organisms from scratch
The Economist reports that artificial intelligence is advancing to the point where scientists may be able to design and build entirely new organisms from scratch. The claim points to AI's growing role in biology, where machine-learning tools are increasingly used to predict protein structures and engineer genetic material. The development raises both scientific promise and questions about safety and ethics of synthetic life.
Why now: Rapid progress in AI-driven biology, such as protein design, is renewing debate over synthetic organisms.
