"A biological model based on slime mold has provided astronomers with new insights into the structure and evolution of the universe. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Slime Mold Algorithms Unlock Secrets of Vast Cosmic Structures) Biomimetics is the emulation of nature. The drone swarms can emulate slime molds and starling swarms. Another thing is that computer viruses are things that emulate natural viruses. Biomimetics is not necessarily a physical thing. Also, virtual systems can emulate living nature. Things like the slime mold algorithm that uses slime mold as a model of the universe's structures emulates nature in the virtual model. The slime mold algorithm can also be used in things like drone swarms. Those systems can use slime mold algorithms to create drone swarms that behave like slime mold. Another way is to create an algorithm that makes drone swarms behave like starling swarms. The networked systems make it possible that the dron...
The research and advances in artificial intelligence are causing the need to re-estimate what things like consciousness means? When we are creating new and powerful AI. We are creating something that has not existed before. And quantum technology has increased the power of AI. So that means we might face surprising situations when we are driving AI algorithms by using quantum computers that are a minimum of 1000 times faster and more powerful than traditional binary computers.
