The workshop "What Can Synthetic Biology Offer to Artificial Intelligence?," hosted by the 14 th European Conference on Artificial Life (Lyon, France, 4-8 September 2017), brought together specialists from different disciplines to discuss the possibility of generating synergies between synthetic biology (SB) and artificial intelligence (AI). The specific goal was the exploration of cognition through "understanding-bybuilding" strategies. The workshop participants were asked to define
