How can we ensure we don\u2019t approach life detection with too inclusive a lens, and thereby risk never being able to draw the distinction?<\/p>\n<p>The types of objects we seek determine the types of scientific tools we engineer.

How different might its functions be? What sort of environments does it inhabit and in what abundance? What ecology does it form? How complex is it? All of these questions force us to seek the most reliable signatures to search for in the universe. The solution to these challenges is that we need a set of universal rules for life that we can rely on anywhere in the universe and in any context. A ton of recent progress has been in uncovering some of these universal rules. This talk will focus on the rules of life that span the simplest life, bacteria and viruses, to the largest ecologies of forests and even cities, and then on how to apply these in our quest to discover life beyond Earth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-item\"><h2 class=\"accordion-header mt-0 mb-0\" id=\"heading-4-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\"><button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse4-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse4-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-brain-circuit\"><\/I>    When Will We Need a Theory of Intelligence Panel Discussion<\/button><\/h2><div id=\"collapse4-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading4-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordionaccordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\"><div class=\"accordion-body\"><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"When Will We Need a Theory of Intelligence Panel Discussion - InterPlanetary 2022\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KRZBewEUFXo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Machine learning algorithms have been surprisingly successful at performing tasks that we assumed required high levels of intelligence, such as predicting protein folding (AlphaFold), as well as creative expressions like poetry with language prediction models (GPT-3).

We can beat the game of go with only a set of rules, but we would never have succeeded in sending humans to the moon without a theory of gravity. When do we require a theory of intelligence?<\/p>\n<p>We might exploit an algorithm to compose a pretty painting, but would we trust an algorithm to govern us, for instance? How will we know if something is working, and how can we explain how that something is working? One could not build a Tesla without a deep understanding of electromagnetism.

When a revolutionary technology requires some fundamentally new operational principle, a theory is present: The transistor, Quantum computing, Legal practice.

Now, in the early part of the 21st century, we are at a time of political and social change that invites a novel and more inclusive era of collaboration to reimagine ways of thinking about, and addressing, these social and economic challenges. Since its earliest days, SFI has taken a maverick approach to the study of economics, eschewing conventional assumptions such as equilibrium, scarcity, and utility optimization, for broader notions of interaction, integration, and emergence.<\/p>\n<p>Using our space future as a model, this panel discussion invites participants to speculate on what human social relations might look like when stripped of our earthly assumptions about the purpose and function of one of our oldest and most basic human traditions: socioeconomic exchange. Specifically, this conversation will explore a myriad of economic topics through the lens engendered by space exploration within a framework of political economy. What does it mean to have trade agreements that govern interplanetary space? How feasible are concepts of trade-governing institutions or \u201cjust-in-time manufacturing\u201d in interplanetary space time?<\/p>\n<p>For this event, four panelists representing different but complimentary areas of expertise will discuss what we can learn from our past successes and vulnerabilities, current proposed solutions to economic and political shortcomings, and contemporary space policy, to recalibrate the scope of the human condition for a more equitable future on Earth, and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-item\"><h2 class=\"accordion-header mt-0 mb-0\" id=\"heading-6-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\"><button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse6-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse6-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-city\"><\/i>    Emergent Tokyo &#8211; Speculations on a Space City by Jorge Almazan<\/button><\/h2><div id=\"collapse6-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading6-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordionaccordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\"><div class=\"accordion-body\"><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Emergent Tokyo - Speculations on a Space City by Jorge Almazan - InterPlanetary 2022\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LKraoDW0BBo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Discussions about cities in space revolve around visions of massive megastructures and artificial habitats that master hostile environments to shelter human life. But can these highly machinic settlements truly accommodate earthlings\u2019 emotional, messy, and unpredictable lives? Can a city in space combine a highly productive engineered environment with the human need for communal life, creativity, intimacy, and spontaneity? If we want to start imagining this possibility, Tokyo might be the best place to start. Tokyo is one of the most vibrant and livable cities, a megacity that somehow remains intimate and adaptive, balancing massive growth and local communal life. How is this possible? We can answer this question by delving into Tokyo\u2019s most distinctive urban spaces, from iconic neon nightlife to tranquil neighborhood backstreets.<\/p>\n<p>Tokyo, at its best, offers a new vision for a human-scale urban ecosystem, where ordinary residents can shape their own environment in ways large and small, and communities take on a life of their own beyond government master planning and corporate profit-seeking. In particular, five key features of Tokyo\u2019s cityscape \u2013 yokoch\u014d alleyways, multi-tenant zakkyo buildings, undertrack infills, flowing ankyo streets, and dense low-rise neighborhoods -\u2013 enable this \u201cemergent\u201d urbanism, allowing the city to organize itself from the bottom up.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike much of the existing discussions on Tokyo that emphasize its oriental uniqueness and mysterious chaos, this lecture analyzes the surprising yet comprehensible design principles that explain Tokyo\u2019s most vibrant urban patterns and offers a practical guide on how to bring Tokyo-style intimacy, adaptability, and spontaneity to other cities on this planet and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-item\"><h2 class=\"accordion-header mt-0 mb-0\" id=\"heading-7-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\"><button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse7-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse7-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-alien-8bit\"><\/I>    Why We Search for Life on Mars by Nina Lanza<\/button><\/h2><div id=\"collapse7-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading7-accordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordionaccordion-block-block_6d7cc60676eec82bb707b6a827470ddf\"><div class=\"accordion-body\"><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why We Search for Life on Mars by Nina Lanza - InterPlanetary 2022\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9N0-2FRtQKs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Mars has long captured our imaginations as a potential home for past, present, and future life.

Each rover is equipped with an instrument payload designed to answer fundamental questions about martian geology, climate, habitability, and the possibility for past life.<\/p>\n<p>While Mars and Earth have had very different histories and evolutionary paths, our deep and evolving knowledge of Earth provides us with critical context in which to interpret data returned from Mars.
