Wow. This is eye-opening stuff. Are there any other discussions happening about Alife besides wikipedia?

  A lot of Alife is fairly ubiquitous now, but mainly known by the terms used within the specific domains applying it. For example, Neural Networks are right out of the Alife playbook. There is also a surprising and huge crossover when it comes to quantum computing subjects. Pretty much any time you see a focus on emergent properties, you've bumped into Alife. You may also want to look at autonomous drones, self-driving cars, and whatnot, as these also use Alife techniques for training the models. [EDIT: And I should point out that flocking and traffic algorithms are Alife models.] You'll find way more info on the area(s) that interest you once you discover what the different domain areas are, and search them out specifically, since Alife has become such a broad subject, and the term itself falling out of use.
