Living Intelligence is the convergence of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and advanced sensors.
Overview
The conceptual framework of Living Intelligence was introduced in 2024 with a report published by Amy Webb and Sam Jordan from Future Today Institute. The report described it as a convergence of three technologies (artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and advanced sensors) for systems capable of sensing, learning, adapting, and evolving.
Living Intelligence relies on the interaction between AI systems (such as Large Action Models), sensor networks that collect and transmit data, and biological engineering applications which include generative biology.
Applications
Living Intelligence can be used in a variety of industries, including business and education. In education, it focuses on human cognition to personalize learning experiences. It can also assist in training AI models with empathy for applications of customer service and healthcare.
Notable early developments in Living Intelligence include DishBrain, a biological computer created by Cortical Labs using brain cells, and various applications of generative biology by companies like Ginkgo Bioworks and Google DeepMind's AlphaProteo project.
