The two most important technologies of our time are also the most dangerous

The entirety of human knowledge has been leading to this point. Information technologies and life sciences are at an inflection. Two technologies that are the pinnacle of achievement in their domains are going mainstream. In the IT world, it's Artificial Intelligence (AI), super-powerful computers that can program themselves and learn without the assistance of humans. In Life Sciences, it's Gene Editing (CRISPR/Cas9), the ability to reprogram genomes and change the course of evolution.
