Human intelligence and that of today’s AI’s are just two points within a huge space of possible diverse intelligences. It is critical, for the development of both engineering advances and essential ethical frameworks, to improve our innately limited ability to recognize minds in unconventional embodiments. I will describe our work using the collective intelligence of body cells solving problems in anatomical and physiological spaces, to map out a framework for communicating with and understanding beings across the spectrum of cognition. By addressing fundamental philosophical questions through the lens of developmental biology and synthetic bioengineering, today’s AI debate can be greatly enriched.
