Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all over the news, and it's making waves in synthetic biology too. At iGEM, teams are leveraging AI as they push the boundaries of synthetic biology to solve some of the world’s greatest challenges. To give you some background and perspective on how past iGEM teams have incorporated AI in their work, check out these projects.
Due to their inherent safety, simplicity and portability , cell-free systems have become an increasingly important tool in iGEM and synthetic biology more broadly.
From the moment the opening session of the conference began, what struck me was how similar the challenges are for emerging technologies across fields. Whether it is biotechnology, artificial intelligence, or smart cities, the same questions come up over and over again. In this post, I’d like to give an overview of three areas of overlap between synthetic biology and other emerging fields.
