Abstract
A common framing for governing artificial intelligence (AI) in the biological sciences is to focus on risk mitigation owing to the technology's potential 'dual-use' for both beneficial and harmful applications. This is a reactive policy approach, and a broader framing that urges policymakers to actively champion the benefits alongside mitigating risks is needed, including through targeted investments aimed at securing public priorities.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Biotechnology publishes reviews and perspectives on the applied biological sciences, focusing on useful science applied to, derived from, or inspired by living systems.
The major themes that TIBTECH is interested in include:
Bioprocessing (biochemical engineering, applied enzymology, industrial biotechnology, biofuels, metabolic engineering)
Omics (genome editing, single-cell technologies, bioinformatics, synthetic biology)
Materials and devices (bionanotechnology, biomaterials, diagnostics/imaging/detection, soft robotics, biosensors/bioelectronics)
Therapeutics (biofabrication, stem cells, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, antibodies and other protein drugs, drug delivery)
Agroenvironment (environmental engineering, bioremediation, genetically modified crops, sustainable development).
