  I think the human body (and biology in general) is amazing, and AI researchers are taking a lot of inspiration from biology. For example much of AI is about trying to understand and replicate human intelligence. In machine learning, neural networks are inspired by networks of neurons in the brain. Some researchers take inspiration from evolution to develop genetic algorithms to optimise systems.
