we can make what would be defined as a single cell synthetic organism, which does different things that don't exist.
And it has massive potential good uses and bad uses.
The good uses, you could use this, and I could see this being popular among scientists funded by the Borlaug program at USDA, where they use this for pest control.
And you could target, make it so it was very specific, the synthetic cell or organism or bacteria to target something like a pest, like a grasshopper, for example.
Or white people.
well we're gonna get to the other side of this um that would only target a specific species defined to a geographic region so you might not worry of it spilling over into some other insect population in theory okay this is this is this is sort of on the what i'm talking about here is the the emerging future trend of this now on the nefarious side of this how is it going to be used
We're no longer talking about living things.
So you can engineer a synthetic pathogen to attack equipment.
So you can have it have that synthetic organism produce an acid that would eat metal.
You could have it produce a biofilm, which would attack metal underwater, like a submarine.
This technology is being developed right now at a handful of places.
Some of it's in the United States, much of it is, some of it is not.
Most of the places it's being developed are friendly to the United States or are allies.
But this synthetic threat is rapidly emerging that.
So that's the biotechnology side.
Now, if you take a look at, and I know I've been watching your show recent episodes, AI has been a big hot topic and there's tons of investment going into it.
We're going to see a fusion between this synthetic biology technology and AI.
And it's probably on the,
four to five year horizon and the ai will be programmed into the micro circuits systems of the nanotechnology it's a fact i mean like you're going to use the best software the best programs you can get onto a basically a nano computer within that cell which does the programming
This might sound like crazy science fiction to a lot of people.
