AI-Ready Biodata Is America’s Next Strategic Infrastructure

The convergence of artificial intelligence and biotechnology will define future national power, but the United States is at risk of falling behind. Leadership in this new era hinges on "biodata," the biological blueprints of life, which has become a strategic asset as vital as semiconductors. While competitors like China build coordinated AI-bio ecosystems, the U.S. biodata environment remains fragmented, insecure, and lacks the diversity needed for effective AI models. Without a federally led effort to build AI-ready biodata as national infrastructure, America risks ceding profound military and economic advantages.
