'21ST CENTURY BRAINIAC' - March 5, 2020
3/5/20: 21ST CENTURY BRAINIAC Recently, scientists have scraped living cells from frog embryos to create the tiny “xenobots,” which are a millimeter wide. The bots can be controlled to make purposeful movements, such as transporting medicine to be carried to a specific place in a patient, and even can heal themselves after being damaged. Xenobots put us in the driver’s seat for future beings with advanced organic brains. It is now time for us to consider how quickly we might achieve an “Organic Singularity,” a synthetic biological structure or creature that is more intelligent than a human being. Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks about 21ST CENTURY BRAINIAC.
