AI is Editing Genes… We Think We Can ALL See How This Turns Out

AI’s Role in Precision Medicine

AI technology is now being combined with CRISPR gene-editing tools to create unprecedented breakthroughs in medical science, reports Wired. By analysing massive datasets, AI refines CRISPR applications, making genetic edits faster, safer, and more precise. This combination could unlock cures for previously untreatable diseases.

Ethical Considerations in Gene Editing

While the technology’s potential is enormous, its ethical implications are equally significant. Experts call for stringent oversight to prevent misuse in areas like eugenics or biological warfare, stressing the need for balanced innovation.

Editor’s Comment: AI and CRISPR together are like Pandora’s box— there’s no putting the genie back in the bottle on this one!
