Largely unnoticed by the general public, a new turning point in history is looming. With new genetic engineering methods and tools such as the CRISPR/Cas gene scissors, mankind for the first time has the power to genetically engineer every gene in every form of life and spread these genetic alterations to entire species.
In convergence with artificial intelligence, this development will accelerate considerably. If we are too careless with these powerful technologies, we could trigger new pandemics, accelerate the extinction of species, destroy ecosystems and endanger our own survival.
