World Economic Forum: Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2023

[PAF]

World Economic Forum
Flagship Report
June 2023


The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Klaus Schwab advised that humanity should “take dramatic technological change as an invitation to reflect about who we are and how we see the world”. The Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2023 report is an ongoing response to that invitation to improve the state of the world and the humans inhabiting it. The driving forces behind the innovations featured in this special report are the acceleration of global connectivity, the rise of AI, along with the convergence of the physical, digital and biological worlds.

04 Designer phages
Engineering viruses to augment
human, animal and plant health.


Recent advances allow engineering of the
microbiome to benefit human well-being and
agricultural productivity. Key to this engineering
are phages – viruses that selectively infect specific
types of bacteria. Upon infection, a phage injects
its genetic information into the bacterium. Using
synthetic biology tools, the genetic information of
phages can be reprogrammed so that infected
bacteria execute a bioengineered set of genetic
instructions. With bioengineered phages,
scientists can change a bacterium’s functions,
causing it to produce a therapeutic molecule or to
become sensitive to a certain drug, for example.
As phages generally only infect one type of
bacteria, individual bacterial species within the
complex microbiome can be targeted

Yeah, no consequences there...

Anyone who supports any of these technologies are sick in the head.

No Thanks.
