[…] The integration of AI into genetic engineering (generative AI) raises concerns that plants with unsafe and undesirable traits may be engineered and released into the environment. […] Mexico has banned the planting of GM corn in order to protect its vast diversity of corn, which is central to its culture and identity. […] The Kenya Court of Appeal has blocked the Kenyan government from importing genetically modified organisms into the country […] High levels of resistance to two Bt proteins in GM maize of the African stem borer have been detected in three production regions in South Africa.
