Listen "Good vs Evil"
Episode Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Alex lands a summer gig at NovaBio, where every bench is paired with an AI sidekick. On day one, Alex watches the software trace protein coils like a video game, revealing shapes that used to take scientists years to solve. By week two, the same AI screens billions of molecules and flags a handful that might treat a stubborn lung infection—work that once drained entire careers.But a late-night assignment flips the mood. A colleague shows Alex how reversing the drug-discovery code spits out thousands of nerve-gas recipes in a single evening. Designing a brand-new killer virus still needs rare data and lab gear, yet whipping up new toxins is frighteningly easy.The lab’s director calls an emergency meeting: NovaBio will tighten DNA-order screening, add “red-flag” filters to the code, and lobby for global rules before the tech outruns common sense. Alex leaves realizing that tomorrow’s heroes—and villains—will both wield the same dazzling machines.
