[Xu Guanhua, former minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: biotechnology and industry have made important progress in the cross-application of synthetic biology and artificial intelligence] Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily on the 18th Xu Guanhua, former minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said at the "China Biological economy 50 people Forum" that biotechnology and industry have developed rapidly in recent years, which can be summarized from the perspective of science and technology. Important progress has been made in three main areas. First, the understanding of the nature of life is more systematic and in-depth. For example, brain science research is analyzing the complexity of cells and tissues; second, the ability to synthesize and transform organisms is further enhanced. Scientists have successfully cultivated the world's first in vitro self-organizing organ model using human pluripotent stem cells; third, breakthroughs in engineering biology and the cross-application of artificial intelligence platforms have greatly promoted the development of the industry. the development of brain-computer connection has far exceeded the limitations of original cognition. These developments expand the boundaries of human cognition of the natural world, stimulate the innovative potential of biological applications, and pry out huge economic and social value. Some research institutions predict that the biotechnology revolution will have a direct economic impact of US $4 trillion in the next 20 years. (reporter Yu Shiqi)
