The Future of Computing: Harnessing Brain Tissue for Artificial Intelligence
Advancements in technology are pushing the boundaries of traditional computing, and one of the most intriguing developments is biocomputing—using living brain tissue to power computers. This innovative approach involves connecting neurons to digital hardware, allowing the biological cells to perform computational tasks.
Biocomputing: Outperforming Silicon
Recent experiments suggest that neurons hooked up to computers can outperform conventional silicon-based AI hardware. Unlike traditional chips, which require massive manufacturing processes and consume enormous amounts of energy, biological neurons operate efficiently and are capable of complex processing.
