Is there artificial life?

Artificial life
Artificial life is a field of study that examines systems related to life, its processes, and its evolution through simulations using computer models , robotics, and biochemistry. The study of artificial life imitates traditional biology by recreating some aspects of biological phenomena. Scientists study the logic of living systems by creating artificial environments—seeking to understand the complex information processing that defines such systems. While life is, by definition, alive, artificial life is generally referred to as data confined to a digital environment and existence.
