The Future of Understanding - Michael Levin | 08

Michael Levin dives deep into the intersection of biology and artificial intelligence, exploring how individual units—whether cells or humans—can form cohesive, goal-driven systems. Sharing insights into "cognitive glue," the mechanisms that bind entities into intelligent collectives, and how these principles apply to designing ethical AI. We also tackle the challenge of misinformation, the fluidity of memory and understanding, and the potential dangers and promises of AI-driven societal structures.
