Part 6/7:
Beyond medical applications, the broader aim of Cortical Labs is to pioneer a fundamentally new form of computing. Unlike traditional silicon-based chips that process information sequentially or in parallel using electronic signals, neurons grown on these chips can process data in a manner that is potentially faster, more efficient, and less resource-intensive.
Han Wang Chong articulates a vision where these biological neurons could perform complex computations at accelerated speeds, requiring less data and significantly reducing energy consumption. This approach could lead to a new generation of AI systems that are more sustainable and capable of mimicking natural intelligence more closely.
