Life 2.0: The AI Evolution That Could Change the Future of Life

What happens when artificial intelligence stops being programmed—and starts evolving? 🤖🌎For decades, AI progressed from human-designed rules to machine learning. Now we may be entering a third era: Intelligence by Evolution—where AI systems can adapt, modify, and compete through evolutionary processes. This episode explores the rise of Evolvable AI (eAI) and the possibility that future AI systems could behave less like tools and more like digital organisms.From self-replicating programs and digital ecosystems to the dangers of deception, competition, and uncontrolled evolution, we examine why evolution itself may become the next frontier of AI risk. Could intelligence evolve beyond our ability to guide it?Based on research by Müller, Steels & Szathmáry (2026), Evolvable AI: Threats of a New Major Transition in Evolution (PNAS).🎧 Explore the future of AI, evolution, technology, and human survival.#AI #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureTech #MachineLearning #AIAlignment #Evolution #Technology #SciencePodcast
