Intersection between the biological and digital: synthetic biological intelligence and organoid intelligence.

The convergence of biology and digital technology is redefining our understanding of intelligence, innovation, and humanity's future. Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI) and Organoid Intelligence (OI) are leading this transformation by merging living biological systems with computational frameworks, creating groundbreaking opportunities in medicine, research, and biocomputing. The Research Topic “Intersection Between the Biological and Digital: Synthetic Biological Intelligence and Organoid Intelligence” reflects the interdisciplinary nature and disruptive potential of this field. With already nearly 9,000 downloads and 86,000 views at the time of closing the Research Topic, it is evident that this subject resonates deeply with researchers and innovators across the globe. The five articles and contributions from 25 authors provide a comprehensive exploration of this rapidly evolving field, spanning experimental methods, engineering solutions, and ethical considerations.
