Futurist and engineer Nell Watson from Faculty AI & Robotics at Singularity University spoke about “Nanomachines and Internal Computing” in her keynote at the Biohacker Summit 2015. Nell predicts that recent developments in nano-computing and synthetic biology are leading us to the explosion of new life forms. Already today neurosynaptic IBM chip has roughly the same amount of neurons as a bumble bee, which enables us to simulate animal cognition. Bioprinters are able to print biological material like bones or collagen. Nanobots crated by DNA origami technique, when placed in the blood stream can indicate leukemia cells and destroy them. “Watson believes computing power will increasingly merge with our innate functioning in the coming decades.” – says VICE.com According to Nell, not only the machines become a part of us, but machines and life have very similar structures. “AI can classify the world and make sense of it in the similar way that we do.” As an example Nell brings up successful experiment on cyborgization of a cockroach. By connecting electrodes from circuit board to the cockroach antennas one is able to control with the mobile app. In nature similar behavior control effect occurs in ants infected with cordyceps mushroom. “Life …
