As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Journalist, analyst, author, podcaster. The world’s first “code-deployable” biological computer is now for sale. The Cortical Labs ...

The blending of biological and artificial “computing” is a topic that stretches back to the 1940s and 50s. Now, Cortical Labs has successfully developed a brain-on-a-chip computer primarily designed ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Scientists are experimenting with ways to integrate brain cells into computer processors. The technology could help conserve energy. FinalSpark's Multi-Electrode Arrays (MEAs) incorporate four human ...

The technology is still in its infancy. But its trajectory suggests that ethical conversations may become pressing far sooner than expected. These “biocomputers” are still in their early days. They ...

A hot minute after the world started talking about GPU-powered neural networks, the conversation's quickly changed to neural networks powered by actual neurons. You can now order a literal ...

In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a grain of sand, can receive electrical signals and respond to them — much as ...

Bram Servais formerly worked for Cortical Labs but holds no shared patents or stock and has severed all financial ties. As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current ...

The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize medical testing has scientists excited. But when do we consider these cells to ...
