About

Artifical intelligence is already transforming the way we work, communicate and create. Its next frontier? Life itself.

Artifical intelligence is already transforming the way we work, communicate and create.

Its next frontier? Life itself.

Adrian Woolfson, author and founder of the biotechnology company Genyro, argues that AI is helping scientists unlock the language of DNA, bringing us closer to a future in which genomes can be written from scratch.

From new medicines and resilient crops to entirely novel organisms, the possibilities are extraordinary.

Yet the power to design life raises urgent questions about ethics, ecology and what it means to be human.

In conversation with Tom Whipple, Adrian explores one of the most important scientific revolutions of our time and asks how we can navigate it wisely.

There will be a book signing after this event.
