NPR reports that Ginkgo Bioworks in Boston is building an “autonomous lab” where AI and robots handle tasks such as pipetting, scheduling experiments, and designing work in areas including drug discovery, fertilizer microbes, and protein engineering. Founders Jason Kelly and Reshma Shetty say AI is increasingly generating hypotheses, including via an OpenAI collaboration. Stanford’s Drew Endy warns about biosecurity and loss of scientific know-how.
