STORY: Wriggling abiotic worm manifests "intelligent life" rudiment DATELINE: June 3, 2022 LENGTH: 00:00:42 LOCATION: Beijing CATEGORY: SCIENCE SHOTLIST: various of MetaWorm STORYLINE: MetaWorm, a simulation model of a roundworm, was unveiled at the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) Conference 2022 on Tuesday. When stimulated by food signals, MetaWorm wriggles its body forward like a living worm. It mimics the 96 muscles and 302 neurons that compose the one-millimeter-long soft body of Caenorhabditis elegans, a type of roundworm. Developed by BAAI, MetaWorm can smell and move under the high-precision simulations of 106 neurons which are relevant to the dynamic mechanism.
