The chapter explores the concept of natural intelligence and how it is inspiring computer scientists to enhance artificial intelligence. It showcases the problem-solving skills of African dung beetles, Sahara Desert Ants, and honeybees, and delves into research on evolving security technology based on natural intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is powerful, but what about natural intelligence? This hour, TED speakers explore the intrinsic genius in animal language, insect behavior, plant anatomy and our immune system. Guests include neuroscientist Greg Gage, computational neuroscientist Frances Chance, social psychoneuroimmunologist Keely Muscatell and environmental researcher Karen Bakker.
We want to dedicate this episode to Bakker who passed away in August 2023, only a few months after giving her TED Talk. Her research and legacy continue to inspire.
