In my view, life is a process that is governed on the grand scale by evolution (species adapting to the environment) and on individual scale by consciousness (individuals adaptating to environment).
Bacteria do both, like humans. Some AI agents also do both - evolution and learning, such as AlphaGo, just that its environment is a Go board.
