Fungal Piloted Robots: The Future of AI and Neuroplasticity

In this unsettling video clip, the speaker presents a groundbreaking development in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence. Scientists have created living skin made of fungi and successfully piloted robots with these organisms, allowing them to learn and use the robotic bodies. The fungi, which function similarly to neurons, exhibit neuroplasticity, meaning they can learn to operate unfamiliar bodies and even develop new skills, such as walking, without being taught. The video highlights the potential applications of these fungal piloted robots in filling gaps in AI technology, as they can learn and generate new ideas. This thought-provoking discussion invites viewers to consider the future implications of this research and the potential for fungi-driven robots to revolutionize the field of AI and robotics.
