不久前,让灭绝物种复活还属于科幻小说的范畴。如今,这却是一家估值数十亿美元的初创公司的使命。人工智能、遗传学和计算生物学的进步正在改变保护研究中一切可能,由此引发的问题远远超出了实验室的范围。如果技术能够帮助复活灭绝物种,那我们应该这样做吗?人工智能又该在塑造生物多样性的未来中扮演什么角色?
这些正是TechCrunch Disrupt 2026大会上“Real World AI”舞台炉边谈话“我们能否工程化自然的回归?”的核心议题。
加入对话的是 Colossal Biosciences 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Ben Lamm,这家公司正率先借助合成生物学与人工智能的进步,推动让灭绝物种重返世间的努力。讨论并非只聚焦于科学,而是探讨去灭绝背后的技术、人工智能如今在现代生物学中扮演的角色,以及围绕对自然进行工程改造究竟代表着保护工作的突破——还是分散了对保护现有生态系统的注意力——而日益激烈的争论。
Disrupt 将于 10 月 13 日至 15 日重返旧金山 Moscone West,汇聚 10,000 多名创始人、投资者和运营者,举办 250 多场会议,探讨正在塑造未来的技术与市场力量。聆听今年最具启发性的对话之一。立即锁定您的 Disrupt 通行证。
Where AI meets biology AI is already reshaping software, robotics, and scientific research. Biology may be its next frontier. Researchers are using AI to analyze genetic data, model biological systems, and accelerate discovery. Companies like Colossal are pushing those advances even further, applying AI alongside synthetic biology to questions that until recently belonged in science fiction. This session explores where those technologies intersect and what happens when AI moves beyond digital systems and into the natural world. For founders working at the intersection of deep tech, life sciences, and AI, it’s an opportunity to hear how one of the industry’s most ambitious companies is approaching problems few organizations have attempted to solve. Explore the Real World AI Stage lineup and for Disrupt today.在可能性边界上开拓的创始人 Ben Lamm 已在人工智能与新兴技术的交汇处创建公司二十余年。作为一名连续创业者,他打造的企业专注于解决复杂挑战——从企业级人工智能和关键基础设施到对话智能。在创立 Colossal Biosciences 之前,他曾创办多家开创性科技公司,包括 Hypergiant、Conversable 和 Chaotic Moon,这些公司后来分别被 Trive Capital、LivePerson 和 Accenture 收购。
Today, he’s applying that entrepreneurial mindset to an entirely different using AI and synthetic biology to explore de-extinction as a conservation tool. That work has made Colossal one of the most closely watched — and most debated — companies in science and technology. As CEO, Lamm sits at the center of conversations about biodiversity, climate resilience, emerging technologies, and the responsibilities that come with engineering living systems. His experience offers founders a rare look at what happens when breakthrough technology doesn’t just disrupt an industry, challenging how we think about what’s possible. Join the conversation with one of tech’s most unconventional founders.
