AI gene editing tools have power to modify human DNA, say researchers | BBC News

New advancements in artificial intelligence have the capacity to deliver major breakthroughs in cancer therapy.

AI-powered protein design company Profluent used AI to make an open-source gene editor called OpenCRISPR-1.

OpenCRISPR-1 can create molecules with the power to edit the human genome, according to Profluent.

Profluent's aim is to develop gene editors that are more operative than existing biological mechanisms, especially mechanisms that prevent illnesses like cancer and fight viruses.

AI presenter Priya Lakhani joins The Context to explain this development in health and technology.

I hope I can heal my autoimmune disorder with this, but I’m afraid technophobes will pose a problem, calling it eugenics or something. I just want to be healthy and live without pain

[TheBoilingWater]

Hope AI technology can speed up the finding of the solution in treating autoimmune diseases, Leukemia, and autism.

CRISPR was created back in 2012 that is 12 years ago because we are currently living in 2024.

[e.v.k.]

And where are my superpowers from gene editing?
I want them now

[vmwindustries]

What about using it to grow our telomeres, and increasing age length?

Star trek technology comes true. Game changer !

THE MD LADY IS WELL SPOKEN and evidently you maam. from kenya here

[fredroissetter]

Just jaw dropping, thank you to the team for putting this together

Fred of the Concept😮!

BBC refused to cover the successful SpaceX Starship flight on june 6, 2024. If it there hsve been an explosion, certainly it was here in all details. 💥💥💥👍

That last guy with the glasses should just say which illnesses could be cured damn it

[zetabyte]

I totally liked it! That reporting was awesome. I loved to know in detail the advances in the AI field and its applications in the health area.

[JeffreySmith]

Wow, really?? BBC must of forgot the Chinese research in CRISPER. And they already have CRISPER babies. Unbelievable. Absolutely wow.

[xingzhexin]

Ahh, so we can do real-life character customizations now! Great!
