Prior to college, Michael Levin worked as a software engineer and independent contractor in the field of scientific computing. He attended Tufts University, interested in artificial intelligence and unconventional computation. To explore the algorithms by which the biological world implemented complex adaptive behavior, he got dual B.S. degrees, in CS and in Biology and then received a PhD from Harvard University. He did post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School, where he began to uncover a new bioelectric language by which cells coordinate their activity during embryogenesis. His independent laboratory develops new molecular-genetic and conceptual tools to probe large-scale information processing in regeneration, embryogenesis, and cancer suppression.<\/p>\n<p>TIMESTAMPS:<br \/> 0:00 \u2014 Introduction.<br \/> 1:41 \u2014 Creating High-level General Intelligences.<br \/> 7:00 \u2014 Ethical implications of Diverse Intelligence beyond AI &amp; LLMs.<br \/> 10:30 \u2014 Solving the Fundamental Paradox that faces all Species.<br \/> 15:00 \u2014 Evolution creates Problem Solving Agents &amp; the Self is a Dynamical Construct.<br \/> 23:00 \u2014 Mike on Stephen Grossberg.<br \/> 26:20 \u2014 A Formal Definition of Diverse Intelligence (DI)<br \/> 30:50 \u2014 Intimate relationships with AI?
