Gene Editing
Gene editing is a groundbreaking biotechnological innovation that allows for precise alterations to an organism's DNA, enabling the modification of genetic sequences with high accuracy.
It was developed through techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9, which leverages a bacterial immune system to create targeted cuts in DNA, facilitating the addition, removal, or modification of genetic material.
The impact of gene editing on society and the world includes advancements in medicine (such as potential cures for genetic disorders), improvements in agricultural practices, and ethical debates surrounding its use in humans and the environment.
AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by computer systems, allowing machines to perform tasks such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.
It was developed through a combination of computational algorithms, neural networks, and large datasets that enable machines to learn from experience and improve over time, particularly with breakthroughs in deep learning.
The impact of AI on society and the world includes revolutionizing industries (such as healthcare, finance, and transportation), transforming job markets, and prompting ethical considerations regarding privacy, security, and the future of work.
