Genome editing has revolutionized modern biotechnology, enabling precise modifications to DNA sequences with far-reaching applications in medicine, agriculture, and synthetic biology. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have significantly enhanced genome editing by improving target selection, minimizing off-target effects, and optimizing CRISPR-associated systems. AI-driven models, such as deep learning-based predictors and protein language models, enable more accurate sgRNA design, novel Cas protein discovery, and enhanced gene regulatory network analysis. Additionally, AI-powered tools facilitate large-scale data integration, accelerating functional genomics and therapeutic genome editing. This review explores the intersection of AI and genome editing, highlighting key innovations, challenges, and future prospects. Despite its transformative potential, AI-driven genome editing raises ethical concerns regarding data bias, algorithmic transparency, and unintended genetic modifications. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary collaboration between AI researchers, molecular biologists, and policymakers. As AI continues to evolve, its integration with genome editing will pave the way for groundbreaking advancements in precision medicine, genetic disease treatment, and sustainable agriculture.
