The confluence of advances in biological sciences with the accelerating development of computing, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI), is fueling a new wave of innovation that will transform economies and societies. The global responses to the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus reflect recent advances in biological science.

The authors assess progress in these innovations, their potential for economic and societal impact, and the risks involved.
