Generative AI and Synthetic Biology Could Team Up to Combat Climate Change
• Generative AI combined with synthetic biology could help create sustainable solutions to climate issues like low-carbon concrete, bio-based chemicals, and lab-grown food • Companies are already using synthetic biology to produce milk, meat alternatives, chemicals, materials with lower environmental impact • But existing solutions are expensive and need more investment and scaling to fully realize potential • Generative AI can help accelerate R&D in synthetic biology by predicting successful DNA sequences more quickly • Collaboration needed between governments, investors, tech companies and startups for generative AI in biology to effectively address climate crisis
