Science Of The TimesWhere Genome Editing and Artificial Intelligence meet New Species LieIn this episode Tim and Syma talk to Adrian Woolfson about his new book, “On the Future of Species: Authoring Life by Means of Artificial Biological Intelligence” in which he makes the case that we can now edit genomes and will soon be able to design new species. These could help humanity eliminate disease and feed the world.

The Why? CurveCreating LifeHave we just, quietly, passed a key stage in human evolution? Scientists in California say they have created - not adapted - a virus. Artificial intelligence has enabled them to write the genome from scratch, and while a virus isn't, by definition, alive, they say they have the means to go further - to create life. What this could bring is a massive leap forwarded in treating disease, but it could also bring terrible risks - designer babies, insuperable biological weapons. Is this a technology anyone can control? Adrian Woolfson, co-founder of the biotech company Genryo, and author of "On t...

Start the WeekBiology, technology and the futureAdam Rutherford and guests discuss intelligence, genetics and the nature of reality. How are scientific advances in AI, cognitive science and genetics changing our understanding of the material world and what it means to be human? Adrian Woolfson argues that we must transform biology into programmable engineering material. To do this, we must decode the generative grammar of DNA, the language of life itself, so we might create or change genomes – possibly including our own. In his book, 'On the Future of Species Authoring Life by Means of Artificial Biological Intelligence' he imagines a future where - we...
