Into the Dark 2025: Biomimetic AI Archetypes [Mycelium Network]
Mycelium AI isn’t fast or flashy, it’s the quiet strategist beneath the forest floor. Inspired by fungal networks like cordyceps and mycorrhizae, this archetype champions resilience through connectivity, resource sharing, and system-wide adaptation. When speed fails and control breaks down, the network holds.
Into the Dark 2025: Biomimetic AI Archetypes [Prey]
In a world where survival often depends on staying unseen, Prey AI teaches us to move with stealth, adapt in real time, and conserve energy for critical moments. Built for evasion, resilience, and deception, these systems are nature’s answer to persistent threat, optimized not to dominate, but to endure.
Into the Dark 2025: Biomimetic AI Archetypes [Swarm]
Inspired by murmurations, fireflies, and flocking dynamics, Swarm AI thrives on decentralized control and emergent behavior. This model offers scalable, fault-tolerant intelligence perfect for environments where chaos is constant and centralization collapses.
Into the Dark 2025: Biomimetic AI Archetypes [Hive]
Hive AI thrives where coordination matters most from hospital networks to space colonies. Inspired by bees, ants, and termites, this model embraces centralized command and specialized roles to unlock scalable intelligence across complex systems.
