An Australian startup has unveiled the world’s first commercial biological computer that runs on living human brain cells.
Melbourne-based Cortical Labs launched the CL1 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, describing it as a “body in a box” that holds the potential to revolutionise AI and robotics.
The computer uses lab-grown neurons that grow across a silicon chip, which allows them to send and receive electrical impulses.
This setup is then integrated into Cortical Labs’s Biological Intelligence Operating System (biOS), through which users can deploy code through the neurons and perform computing tasks.
A huge breakthrough in neuroscience and AI.
!INDEED it is! !BBH

@bradleyarrow, I sent you an $LOLZ on behalf of lordshah

yeah we're doomed lol
Get worse: A paper published in the journal Cell said the neurons learned and exhibited sentience when embodied in the simulated game world.
The company claims to have put guardrails in place in order to address ethical concerns relating to consciousness and sentience, though few details were provided.
i will never under the fascination people have with this stuff. it's right out of a horror movie
LOL, I agree my friend :)
waaaat. Here I was thinking AI would never be conscious…but now I don’t know 😬
Things are moving fast. But if it become conscious, then will it still be AI?
