From synthetic constructs resembling biological materials to computational methods emulating neural processes, the interplay between nature and design is evident. In realms such as genetics, regenerative medicine, and synthetic biology, designers are developing novel technologies unforeseen by nature.

The others were also quite somber. “I didn’t expect that,” she finally said “You were only gone a few minutes. I’ll get you something to drink.” She stood up and headed to a small table in the corner of the room. There were a few snacks and drinks spread out there for us, I guess, or the employees. I still wasn’t sure where I was. It was hard to remember. And then I remembered the hospital.

The Benevolent AI Paradox: Friend or Foe?
Artificial intelligence's portrayal in popular movies and theoretical fiction often oscillates between two extreme narratives: one that puts AI as humanity's savior, leading to a golden age of prosperity and creativity, and a second narrative that makes it the source of dystopian situations where machines rise against man. The latter version is particularly characterized by fear and suspicion that are brought by the concerns of surpassing human intellect and autonomy for artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, amidst these divergent viewpoints lies an internal contradiction: if we treat AI nicely, can't it kill us?
