It also names "visualization" and "molecular robotics" as (non-AI) representative technology categories. It includes the specific, the absurdly general, and the so-far-imaginary among its categories. The Federal Register publication is not very enlightening and I can't tell if the NYT story is based on anything more than that publication.
- ggggtez 8y agoI'm assuming "molecular robotics" is intended to cover CRISPR-like technologies.
- philipkglass 8y agoThere's a separate section for biotechnology. Molecular robotics is listed under robotics along with smart dust and swarming technology.
- hahabrew 8y agomolecular robotics in a colloquial sense would cover any mechanichal process that is implemented at the molecular level of organization, this would include any sort of sequence determination; construction; or modification -- meaning most of any biotech, and nanotech. Seeing that btech is a separate matter is interesting.
