![]() People, Tegmark notes, can’t perform basic survival tasks when they are first born. Bacteria exemplify “Life 1.0” in that their hardware and software result from biological evolution. ![]() Bacteria acquired these characteristics through evolution by natural selection any improvements, the author explains, came by way of random DNA mutations. Their DNA dictates the structure of their bodies – their hardware – as well as how they identify, move toward and consume their sources of food – their software. Tegmark details how, unlike individual people, individual bacteria don’t learn how to survive and reproduce they simply do it. He becomes your guide through complex terrain – the nature of life, intelligence and computation the physics of energy the future of the universe and the questions people will face in a seriously different future world.ĭevelopments in AI may enable Life 3.0, an era in which people design their own software and hardware. MIT theoretical physicist Max Tegmark explores what may happen and what it means. Summary of Life 3.0 Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Max Tegmark ![]()
