This briefing addresses ‘generative’ artificial intelligence (AI) tools, which are now being applied to generate novel digital sequences for GMOs and proteins. […]

Using a new method of data evaluation, this study shows that unintentional changes from the use of CRISPR/Cas ‘gene scissors’ are different from random mutations and could present risks. […] Gene drive organisms are characterized by a significant depth of intervention. Therefore, there is a need to broaden the social and political debate over them rather than considering them as an incremental innovation of first-generation GMOs. […] New genomic techniques (NGT) can cause unintended genetic changes, thereby carrying higher risks than earlier assumed. […] For the first time, CRISPR genome editing techniques have been found to induce ‘catastrophic’ DNA damage, including whole chromosomal loss and other unintended changes, in tomatoes. […] This article explains why assertions that GM gene-edited plants and animals don’t contain any foreign genetic material in their genomes are baseless. […] This meta-analysis reveals a range of unintended genomic outcomes of current and next generation GM techniques in plants, which raises biosafety concerns. However, analytical methods to detect these changes need to be improved. […] New genomic techniques should be strictly regulated according to the Precautionary Principle in order to protect consumers from risks, guarantee freedom of choice and prevent damage to ecosystems and biodiversity. […] Civil society organisations around the globe demand a moratorium on genetically engineered gene drives at UN Biodiversity Conference […] A group of international scientists and policy experts have published a statement opposing the use of the term “precision breeding” to describe gene or genome editing.
