Taking into account how fast the AI advances, the machines could begin to program computers on their own or in the case of the Xenobots reproduce and act on their own.Īlthough the Xenobots cause concern because in their biotechnology they can self-replicate, the researchers assured that they are contained in a laboratory and are handled with high ethical standards. In past years, the University of Cambridge, together with the co-founder of Skype, created a Center for the Study of Existential Risks (CSER) where they study the risks of the existence of machines created with Artificial Intelligence (AI). The University of Vermont expert asserts that Xenobots are a very young technology and do not yet have a practical application however, the combination of molecular biology and artificial intelligence could be used in humans and the environment. Such kinematic replication has never been observed at higher levels of biological organization, nor was it known whether multicellular systems were capable of doing it ”, says the study Kinematic Self-Replication in Reconfigurable Organisms, published in the Journal of American Science, PNAS. In contrast, a non-growth-based form of self-replication dominates at the subcellular level: molecular machines assemble material in their external environment in functional autocopies directly or in concert with other machines. However, these various processes share a common property: they all involve growth in or on the body of the organism. “Like the other necessary skills that life must possess to survive, replication has evolved in many different ways: fission, budding, fragmentation, spore formation, vegetative propagation, parthenogenesis, sexual reproduction, hermaphroditism, and viral propagation. Josh Bongard, a computer science professor and robotics expert at the University of Vermont and lead author of the study, says that the Xenobots were initially sphere-shaped and could replicate in specific environments and reproduce by “kinematic replication.” Xenobots that are capable of moving, working together and self-healing were formed from stem cells from the African clawed frog.Īccording to CNN, “C-shaped parent Xenobots collect and compress loose stem cells into clumps that can mature into young.” Scientists from the University of Vermont, Tufts University, and the Wyss Institute for Biology-Inspired Engineering at Harvard University discovered a new form of biological reproduction. It is not about robots made of metals as you think when reading the title, but it is about an organism made with cells that acts by itself and is not genetically modified.
Today, living “robots” are already a reality, American scientists reported that Xenobots are the first in the world capable of reproducing in a way other than that studied in animals and plants.
