Al gene editing tools have power to modifyhuman DNA, say researchers | BBC News

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

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

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

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

Al presenter Priya Lakhani joins The Context to explainthis development in health and technology.
