Synthetic biochemical life

See Also: Wet artificial life


The goal of wet artificial life and Synthetic Biology , the first artificial biochemical life would look and act like oversimplified Bacteria . Researchers involved feel that the creation of true synthetic biochemical life is very close, relatively cheap, and will be easier than getting a man on the Moon was.1


Self replicating machines

Hypothetical mechanical entities such as Nanobots or Self-replicating Machine s might be considered alive, even though they might not necessarily be Cellular .


Bodiless artificial intelligence

One of the goals of Artificial Intelligence research is to create an AI that could pass for a person in the Turing Test , perhaps being Sapient or even Conscious . Such an AI does not necessarily need a physical manifestation, which raises numerous issues with whether or not it could be considered alive.
