In this talk, Dr. Kriegman will describe recent efforts to bring AI out of the digital realm of bits and pixels and into the material world as living machines of diverse size, shape, composition, and niche. While the resulting creatures are exceedingly simple by modern standards, he will argue that they open the way to understanding and realizing higher forms of intelligence.
