Why are AI, biotechnology, and gene editing converging right now, and what does that mean for the future of humanity?

In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith sits down with futurist and author Jamie Metzl to explore the superconvergence of artificial intelligence, genomics, and exponential technologies that are reshaping life on Earth.

We examine the ethical and scientific realities behind human genome editing, the controversy around CRISPR babies, and why society is not yet ready to edit human embryos at scale. The conversation unpacks the complexity of biology, the risks of tech driven hubris, and why governance, values, and social norms must evolve alongside scientific breakthroughs.

You will also hear a wide ranging discussion on health span versus longevity, AI and human decision making, education and inequality, and how these technologies could either unlock massive human flourishing or deepen existing global challenges depending on the choices we make today.
