The topic covered in this report is: The Convergence of AI and Genomics to Grow as Chinese and US National Security Priority

Key Takeaways:

• The growth of artificial intelligence (AI) is causing rapid technological disruption to the genomics, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries as AI models and AI-enabled platforms are becoming crucial for the development and deployment of drugs and other related technologies.
• The emerging importance of AI in these industries is increasing the commercial and national security importance of the datasets underpinning them, including genomic data.
• The Chinese government will continue to strongly support its biotechnology and genomics industries, utilizing state resources to give Chinese companies an advantage against international competitors and giving them greater access to centrally-controlled and populated datasets to exploit.
• China’s ascent in AI and biotechnology risks enabling Chinese companies to have a commercial edge against Western rivals and potentially damaging Western national security if China weaponizes such technologies.
