Which ever is less regulated. So AI.
Logan Hill
AI would be far easier to spread out, no?

>Which ever is less regulated.
interestingly, there are apparently no regulations against using educational attainment PRS (or something like it) for embryo selection in the US yet:

However, the company claims they only use it to report risk of low IQ / learning disability.

neither are regulated in China

not happening

will be disruptive, especially when driverless trucks show up

Depends on the circumstances. See, that's the thing about nucleic acids: within a particular system, they're good at making lots of copies of themselves. What happens if a gene drive experiment escapes the lab and has unforeseen deleterious consequences? But I digress.

How would autonomous trucks be the most disruptive thing of all? I would think surveillance, fake news generation, or mass broadcasting that affects people's decision making would be the serious thing.
Unless you yourself are a truck driver in which case lol
