Ettore Randazzo

Ettore Randazzo and Luca Versari, both researchers at Google, dive into the fascinating world of self-replicating programs. They discuss how simple interactions can lead to complex systems mimicking life. The conversation ranges from the implications of these digital entities for AI development to their connection with the origins of life. Randazzo and Versari also touch on the challenges of identifying self-replicators in computational systems and the potential risks associated with AI self-replication, raising important questions about the future of intelligence.
