AI Can Now Write DNA. What Does This Promise, And What Could Go Wrong? With Eric Nguyen, co-founder and CEO of Radical Numerics

AI can now read DNA like language, generate working biological sequences, and help scientists identify disease-related mutations.

The conversation explores personalized medicine, gene therapy, AI-designed biological threats, “deepfake viruses,” and whether the same technology that creates new biology can also defend against it.
