Conventional microchip-based systems, reliant on finite resources and vulnerable to environmental degradation, struggle to keep pace with the exponential growth of information. Rather than perpetuating unsustainable computing models, this vision embraces bio-inspired storage and processing, where data is not only written into biological molecules but also structured to evolve and self-repair.

Rather than rigid fireproofing measures, this model envisions a responsive architectural and urban framework that integrates real-time environmental data, bio-inspired sensing, and decentralised adaptation. Drawing from nature’s intelligence, this approach employs satellite imaging, AI, and advanced biosensors to create a Living Internet of Things capable of autonomously anticipating and mitigating fire threats.

Wildfire resilience requires a shift from rigid, centralised defences to adaptive, biomimetic systems. The (B)IOT™ - biotechnological Internet of Things - integrates biosensors and biocomputing with artificial intelligence and satellite imaging to autonomously activate fire defences. DNA-based data storage and citizen-driven monitoring further enhance resilience, enabling cities to adapt and thrive in fire-prone landscapes.
