We Were Wrong About Our Minds—And AI

Video Description

Biologist Michael Levin—creator of living robots—reveals a radical, evidence-based view of evolution driven by a fundamental mind, where agency emerges in unexpected places and what this means for humanity's co-evolution with AI and AGI. This video is a compilation of interviews I conducted with Levin over the course of year for my Forbes reporting on his research. ▶️ Read the article on Forbes.com "The Secret Life of Algorithms" https://rebrand.ly/43f32ox ▶️ Subscribe: https://rb.gy/qqo0i Subtitles [CC] have been proofread by a human :) Interview edited for time.
