Intelligence without will and a body is lifeless, a sophisticated calculator. Life, on the contrary, is blind, stupid will. The alchemists of Silicon Valley know this. The intricated vine of AI will meet the vine of biotechnology. Life is already open to design through ADN and molecular intervention. Computers constitute our magnificent tool for calculation and modelling. But the link between both is neuroscience, our wet computer, intelligent life. When neuroscience, biotechnology and AI meet the new Frankenstein will be ready to be assembled. The result, however, won’t be different from Shelley’s novel.
