      ab: Artificial Intelligence is a rapidly emerging technology which promises profound changes in computer productivity and power, as well as society. By using computer systems to perform tasks involving decision-making hitherto done by humans, it will make many tasks quicker, more accurate, and more influential. On the plus side, AI promises to automate repetitive tasks, improve decision-making, and reduce human error. But it might impact interpersonal communication, economics, politics, war fighting, sales and political influence, personal privacy, and other areas in potentially dangerous or malicious ways. Coupled with AI, the mapping of the human genome has given humans unprecedented potential to modify humanity itself. This essay explores some implications of applying AI to DNA modification, highlighting ideas for safeguarding humanity from the malign effects and encouraging the salubrious effects of these powerful new tools in the human toolbox.
