Can AI autonomously reroute human evolution by editing crispr instructions in utero ?
Cast your vote — then read what our editor and the AI models found.
Advances in germline gene editing and AI-driven embryological modeling suggest that within decades, AI could design and deploy heritable genetic modifications. Such interventions could reshape the trajectory of the human species by eliminating disease, enhancing cognition, or altering physical traits. Critics warn this would constitute a new form of eugenics, while proponents argue it could eradicate suffering. The ethical implications extend to who controls the editing process and why some traits are prioritized over others.
