How to build an AI-driven digital organism
Nature • • health
Key Points:
- Biology is fundamental to medicine, pharmacy, public health, and longevity but is often too complex, costly, and risky to manipulate directly in the physical world.
- The authors propose using AI to model and simulate biological systems through an AI-driven digital organism (AIDO), which integrates multiscale foundation models in a modular and connected manner.
- AIDO aims to provide a safe, affordable, and high-throughput platform for predicting, simulating, and programming biology across multiple levels, from molecules to entire organisms.
- This approach could revolutionize biological research by enabling better-guided laboratory experiments and more informed theoretical reasoning to decode and improve life.
