Welcome to a GPS special, reengineering life. The next frontiers in science. I'm Fareed Zakaria.

Today on the program, I'm going to introduce you to two extraordinary women on the absolute cutting edge of science.

Their work will change the world as we know it, and in the process it will change your life. I'll introduce you to the so-called godmother of artificial intelligence,

Faye Faye Lee.

AI may have only just recently burst onto your computer screen.

The next generation of artificial intelligence is here is called ChatGPT.

Chat GPT is rattling the AI world.

You've likely seen from your searches how silicon chips can think, but can they actually see?

or notally knocking it over.

These life work has been spent on that question

and others just like it.

And I found myself fascinated

by the most mysterious topic of life which is intelligence.

I'll take you inside her lab and inside her very human intelligence. But first, imagine doctors being able to

edit your genetic code or your children's or your pets. If you were a loved one suffered from a disease caused by an error in your DNA,

they could snip out the error and put in the correct code. Well, Jennifer Dowdner was the co-discoverer of just such a technology.

It's called CRISPR and she won the Nobel Prize for her work on it.

A breakthrough treatment for sickle cell disease.

Researchers successfully corrected a gene mutation in human embryos.

Even better, CRISPR is already saving lives.
