Cell Membrane Design | AI Disorders Help Humans


Listen Later

Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink as they discuss discoveries with theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.

A recent MIT study determined that the composition of cell membranes dynamically adjusts so that cells maintain a constant surface area-to-volume ratio. In this episode, biochemist Fuz Rana describes this work and explores the design implications for God’s existence and role in life’sorigin and design.

We tend to think of AI as completely rational, objective, and unswayed by emotion, but current AIs don’t match this perception. Astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink discusses how large-language model AIs (like ChatGPT and Llama) often reflect human foibles such as overconfidence, biases, malicious behavior, and data fabrication. A recent study demonstrated that AI overconfidence resembles a human speech disorder known as Wernicke’s aphasia. The research paves the way for novel techniques to detect the disorder in humans and may help with future treatments.
