DESCRIPTION:Have you always wanted to build an egg-laying woolly milk sow o
 r bring the legendary dodo \nback to life? The dream of some biologists to
  not only understand organisms\, but also to redesign\, build or bring liv
 ing beings back to life is accelerating towards reality with the convergen
 ce of synthetic biology and generative AI in ‘generative biology’. For
  example\, large language models are now being used to write genes and pro
 teins\, while complex laboratory tests are being replaced by machine visio
 n and automation. \nThe pace of these developments is so fast that they ar
 e barely noticed by the public\, politicians or related experts such as en
 vironmental scientists. Questions about the reliability and safety of thes
 e new biodigital methods and applications are not yet being asked and rese
 arch into risk assessment methods is not keeping pace. At the same time\, 
 this shift of generative AI systems from generating text and images to gen
 erating protein\, bacteria\, viruses and organisms could transform many ar
 eas of life\, from medicine and the environment to bioweapons. So let's ta
 lk about it and discuss it.
