Enhancing Human Intelligence via AI-Guided CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This research proposal explores the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to enhance human cognitive potential. It argues that while evolution prioritised survival over intellect, modern tools now allow us to ethically augment the brain regions responsible for reasoning, moral cognition, and abstract thought. The proposed methodology combines AI-driven genomic analysis with precision gene editing of fertilised ova, validated through animal models. The ultimate goal is to raise the baseline of human intelligence in preparation for a future increasingly shaped by automation and AI. Version 2: Expanded and revised. Includes updated background with detailed neurodevelopmental and environmental risk discussion, improved ethical safeguards.
