I wrote about an semi-living #AI that plays video games for C&EN. We made a bunch of AI illustrations for it and only picked one for the story. Wanna see the rest? https://craigbettenhausen.blogspot.com/2022/12/ai-art-thinks-about-biocybernetic-ai-c.html
Scientists make #AI more intimidating by adding living neurons, while engineers make robot arms cuter and more versatile by mimicking elephant trunks. All that in my latest item for C&EN https://cen.acs.org/physical-chemistry/computational-chemistry/tiny-brain-video-gameselephant-trunk/100/i42
