AI and biology
Two directions: AI as a tool for biology (protein-to-text models, Mambot, a language layer over gene networks) and biology as a lens on AI (does consciousness need a substrate? what counts as embodiment?). Levin's position: 'life versus machine' will not survive the decade, and the questions about AI minds should be settled by experiment.
