Joined by Josh Bongard, a pioneering Professor of Computer Science at the University of Vermont, the discussion journey dives into the fascinating world of biological robots known as xenobots. Bongard explores how these living machines challenge our understanding of life and consciousness. The conversation also navigates the role of AI in biological development and the ethical dilemmas posed by self-replicating organisms. Listeners will re-evaluate the essence of intelligence and the profound implications of intertwining biology with technology.
