The production of food globally is marked by inefficiency, especially in converting plant-based feeds into animal protein, notably beef, resulting in significant wastage. This issue is often ignored, while lab-grown meat, a sustainable and efficient alternative, faces skepticism and critique, underscoring the need for a reevaluation of food production methods.

Investing in cultivated meat companies like Pluri and Ever After Foods offers significant growth potential but comes with complex risks due to their financial interdependence. Success hinges on the combined performance of both, requiring careful assessment of their operations, market strategies, and financial stability. This sector promises high rewards but demands close consideration of the intertwined prospects of Pluri and its subsidiary, Ever After Foods.

France's stance on meat production prioritises conventional methods and exhibits scepticism towards cultivated meat, despite its potential to resolve ethical and environmental issues. This position, shaped by political strategies that cater to conservative viewpoints, contrasts with the acceptance of other scientific advancements like IVF, indicating a selective approach to innovation. The government's resistance to lab-grown meat fails to acknowledge its environmental and health advantages, which are essential for addressing agricultural challenges and shifting consumer ethics.

The article discusses the importance of integrating ethical considerations with the broader objectives and societal implications of artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing that ethics represent only one part of the AI governance narrative. I highlight the necessity of balancing ethical guidelines with innovation, competition, and geopolitical considerations, suggesting that a global cooperative approach and incentivisation through trade could promote ethical AI development worldwide.
I propose practical steps towards this vision, including the establishment of AI ethics certifications and global cooperation, while also acknowledging the complexities involved in implementing such measures, like auditing AI systems and ensuring they do not hinder domestic innovation or pose security risks.
The article explores the idea of using generative AI and quantum computing to replicate a pharmaceutical company's business model, specifically aiming to develop a biosimilar for the biologic drug Humira.
The technical aspects, such as obtaining Humira's amino acid sequence and using quantum algorithms to model molecules are discussed, ending with the insight that quantum computing and AI could have a transformative impact on areas like drug discovery.
