Esistono computer fatti di neuroni umani VIVI (e funzionano)

Biological computers are no longer science fiction: we are currently merging living human brain cells with microelectrodes to create 'wetware' that outperforms silicon in energy efficiency. While AI data centers require gigawatts of power, a biological processor can process complex information using only 20 watts—the power of a bedside lamp. In this video, we dive into the world of Organoid Intelligence (OI). We explore how Cortical Labs taught 800,000 neurons in a dish to play the game Pong and why the future of computing depends on organic systems that grow, adapt, and rewire themselves. Discover how biology is about to solve the global energy crisis caused by the AI boom. 📚 Scientific References: • Kagan, B. J., et al. (2022).
