• Will small clinics and farmers have access, or be
locked out by software licenses and proprietary
systems?
• Could data monopolies replace pharma
monopolies, with algorithms becoming the new
gatekeepers?

If we’re not careful, we risk replacing centralized
manufacturing with centralized modeling, and
embedding inequality in the code itself.

The solution? Treat AI as a public good, not a private
weapon:

• Open-source foundational models.
• Community-accessible design tools.
• Federated learning systems that evolve together,
not apart.

The Real Revolution Isn’t Just the Plant—It’s the
Algorithm

What looks like simplicity—taking a capsule instead of an
infusion—is actually a triumph of complexity done right.

The revolution of edible biologics isn’t just in the field.
It’s in the firmware.

Because when AI designs the gene, optimizes the plant,
predicts the harvest, ensures the quality, guides the
logistics, and supports the patient…

Medicine becomes not just more precise.
It becomes more just.
