Biology is evolving faster than ever; at the intersection of emerging technologies like AI, quantum simulations, and biological design tools, we’re witnessing transformative opportunities.
Dr Sana Zakaria, Research Leader in Science and Emerging Technology at RAND Europe, highlights how this fusion is creating revolutionary possibilities. With cutting-edge tools that can handle vast amounts of data beyond the capacity of traditional computers, we’re now better equipped to tackle pressing issues like environmental pollution, climate change, and food insecurity.
However, these advancements come with their own set of challenges. While these technologies can predict and prevent harmful developments, they also raise difficult questions about risk, ethics, and societal impact.
