We can build an immune system for the planet

By David Bray

Our approaches for pathogen detection and antigen development are too slow. Using high-speed computers, biosensors, and the Internet, we can universalize and automate the process such that we can automatically sense an abnormal pathogen and immediately start synthesizing in a computer’s memory techniques to mitigate it. Once an abnormal pathogen is detected, we can automate the antigen development to have a solution ready much faster for possible use than conventional means. Together, we can build an auto-immune system for the planet.
