The convergence of AI and synthetic biology is bringing us to the threshold of making biology programmable, writing entirely new forms of life from scratch. AI-driven genome writing, the ability to design and synthesize entire genomes de novo, promises to transform medicine, accelerate drug discovery, and unlock entirely new categories of biological engineering.
