"Scientists Develop Hybrid Biocomputer: Living Brain Tissue Meets AI"

TL;DR Summary
American researchers have successfully combined lab-grown human brain tissue with computer hardware to create a functioning biocomputer. The brain cells used in the experiment were able to recognize speech and complete simple math problems. By attaching the brain organoid to electronic circuits, the researchers established communication between the organoid and the circuits, aiming to improve the performance of AI computing systems. While the accuracy rates of the biocomputer were still below those of traditional AI networks, the study confirms the potential for a biological computer and opens up possibilities for future research.
