The opportunities and risks of bioengineering - Gates Cambridge Human genome editing, 3D-printed replacement organs and artificial photosynthesis – the field of bioengineering offers great promise for tackling the major challenges that face our society
An Anthology of Global Risk - 16. Bioengineering Horizon Scan 2020 This chapter presents the second horizon scan for bioengineering conducted by the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk 1 This was based on inputs from a group of 38 participants from 13 countries across six continents
Mitigating Risks from Gene Editing and Synthetic Biology: Global . . . Rapid advances in bioscience and bioengineering hold immense promise for human betterment But as these disruptive technologies become more widely distributed, their inherently dual-use nature and susceptibility to unintended consequences could create unprecedented dangers
Synthetic biology and bioengineering: Risks and opportunities In a report published in the open access journal eLife, an international team of experts led by Dr Bonnie Wintle and Dr Christian R Boehm from the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at
Centre for the Study of Existential Risk These essays pair insights from decades of research and activism around global risk with the latest academic findings from the emerging field of Existential Risk Studies
Existential risk and the justice turn in bioethics Even though warnings about X-Risk come from sources and in forms we may disagree with, we have reasons to take X-Risk seriously and to question the very idea of AI-centred societies while we strive to ensure justice in response to market-driven technological transitions
Bioengineering threats rated as a top biosecurity risk The exercise was facilitated by the Centre for Existential Risk (CSER) and the BioRISC project, both based at the University of Cambridge A group of 41 academics and figures from industry and government submitted 450 questions facing the UK government regarding biological security
