THE INTELLIGENCE THAT LETS LIFE LIVE

This philosophical essay explores a fundamental question: Why are we creating intelligence that surpasses our own? It proposes a new measure of intelligent progress: the capacity to expand life's possibilities for existence, resilience, development, and autonomous self-organization. Connecting philosophy, artificial intelligence, and living systems, the essay introduces a vision of AI whose highest achievement is to create conditions in which life can increasingly sustain, regenerate, and organize itself.
