ABSTRACT

The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and genome editing represents a rapidly advancing frontier with the potential to revolutionize biology and medicine. This convergence, however, raises significant ethical concerns. This paper explores the ethical implications of AI-driven genome editing, focusing on issues such as unintended consequences, autonomy and informed consent, regulatory frameworks, and social equity. The analysis underscores the necessity for robust ethical guidelines, transparent regulatory practices, and equitable access to emerging technologies. These measures are crucial to ensure that the advancements in genome editing are conducted responsibly, safeguarding public trust and promoting beneficial outcomes for society.

Keywords: AI-driven genome editing, ethics, autonomy, informed consent, regulatory frameworks.
