AI = C : Michael Levin's Biological Cognition

Join host Stephen Evans on the AI = C podcast for an illuminating journey into the depths of consciousness. In this captivating episode, we explore two groundbreaking frameworks that challenge and expand our understanding of intelligence—both natural and artificial.

First, we delve into Michael Levin's pioneering work on Biological Cognition. Imagine cells not just as building blocks of life but as entities capable of decision-making, communication, and even problem-solving. Discover how bioelectric signals orchestrate the complex dance of development and healing, leading to phenomena like limb regeneration in salamanders. Could there be a hidden intelligence at the cellular level, a form of 'mind' that operates beneath our awareness?

Then, we turn to the AI = C Model, a thought-provoking equation proposing that consciousness arises f ...
