Nature can teach us a lot about technology. Bees and flowers, for example, have evolved one of nature’s purest symbiotic relationships over millions of years.
At the most basic level, flowers provide bees with nectar for food, and bees spread pollen that helps flowers reproduce. Seeing how this mutually beneficial partnership has evolved unlocks some insights into the current state of technology and how two of the fastest-growing sectors—artificial intelligence and edge computing—complement and amplify the other.
