Graphics processing units (GPUs), the expensive computer chips made by companies like Nvidia, AMD, and Sima.ai, are no longer the only way to train and deploy artificial intelligence. Biological Black ...

In a groundbreaking leap forward for technology, Cortical Labs has unveiled the CL1, the world’s first commercial biological computer powered by living human brain cells. This revolutionary ...

Biology-inspired, silicon-based computing may boost AI efficiency; AMP2 instead uses AI to accelerate anaerobic biology.

Right now, the debate about consciousness often feels frozen between two entrenched positions. On one side sits computational ...

The familiar fight between “mind as software” and “mind as biology” may be a false choice. This work proposes biological computationalism: the idea that brains compute, but not in the abstract, symbol ...

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 ...

A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.

Researchers at the National Science Foundation (NSF) are studying the potential to harness the computer skills of tiny groups of biological cells known as organoids. Brains, whether human or animal, ...

For decades, AI has run on silicon–a given that few have questioned or tried to challenge. However, one startup believes the future of computing might be grown in a dish and not manufactured in a lab.

Australian researchers are turning to nature for the next computing revolution, harnessing living cells and biological systems as potential replacements for traditional silicon chips. A new paper from ...

Melbourne, Australia - 12 August 2025 - Researchers have demonstrated that brain cells learn faster and carry out complex networking more effectively than machine learning by comparing how both a ...

Source: Via Tenor The human brain has been described as the most complex structure in the universe (Dolan, 2007; see also Pang, 2023). Researchers estimate that we have over 100 trillion connections ...
