In a bold vision for the future, researchers propose the AI-Driven Digital Organism (AIDO), a multiscale platform integrating modular foundation models to simulate and program biology across all levels—from molecules to individuals. Addressing the inherent complexity and risks of manipulating biology in the physical world, AIDO provides a safe, cost-effective, and high-throughput alternative for predicting and simulating biological processes. With applications spanning medicine, public health, agriculture, environmental protection, and clean energy, AIDO offers a transformative framework for guiding wet-lab experiments and enhancing first-principle reasoning. This innovative approach promises to revolutionize our understanding of life and its improvement through AI-driven insights.
