Part 08 · The Genomic Power Shift
The future of genomics will not be shaped by biology alone. Artificial intelligence, automation, biosecurity, defense, entrepreneurship and global politics are all changing what genomics can become. This part explores how AI may transform genome interpretation, accelerate discovery and shift the balance of power in science and biotechnology.
It also looks at biological protection and defense, asking how societies prepare for a world where biological knowledge is both a medical resource and a security concern. The chapter considers the next generation of genomic innovators and the possibility that the defining technology companies of the future may be built not only on software, but on biology itself.
This is where the book looks forward: to the opportunities, risks and power shifts that may define the genomic century.
