Scientists develop 'cyberslug' that behaves like real organisms

Researchers have developed a'cyberslug' that behaves similarly to the real sea creatures. The artificially intelligent predator is capable of acting like a physical organism, the Pleurobranchaea californica sea slug, which the creature was modeled from. The'cyberslug' can react to food the way the original organism would - and, the experts say it's even self-aware. Additionally, it responds to other slugs much like a real, non-artificial sea slug would. University of Illinois Professor Rhanor Gillette explained that the cyberslug is different than other artificial entities and has a self-awareness that is simple.
