Pier Luigi Gentili presents chemical AI as an approach to mimicking biological intelligence, discussing metrics, communication with chemical systems, multiscale thermodynamics, and neuromorphic chemical reservoirs in a talk and group discussion.
Conversations and working meetings
Michael Levin presents a 50-minute talk on bioelectric networks as interfaces to somatic intelligence, exploring their role in regenerative medicine, birth defects, cancer, and how tissues may be modeled as collective intelligences.
Michael Levin's talks
Benjamin Lyons, Mark Blumberg, and Karen Adolph explore motor development and behavior in humans and other animals, linking infant locomotion and problem solving to broader ideas of ecological and developmental systems, emergence, and morphogenetic intelligence.

Episode
Michael Levin surveys how intelligence may scale across biological tissues and artificial systems, discussing cells as agents, morphogenesis as cognition, bioelectric control of form, regenerative guidance, anthrobot design, and ethical issues of emerging minds.
Michael Levin's talks
Ivan Kroupin and Tian Chen Zeng discuss culture as an additional scale of biological organization, examining cultural standardization, multiscale collective agency, moral systems as agents, and how patterns and variational learning shape cultural dynamics.
