Scientists Successfully Merge AI and Living Brain Tissue to Create Advanced Hybrid Computer

Scientists have combined machine learning with a 3D model of the brain, known as a "minibrain" or cerebral organoid, to boost the computing power of artificial intelligence (AI). By inputting electrical data into the organoid and deciphering its activity, the researchers were able to create a hybrid computer system. While this method is far from replicating the true structure and function of the brain, it could be a step towards creating more powerful and energy-efficient biocomputers. Additionally, this research could provide insights into how the human brain operates and how it is affected by neurodegenerative conditions.

"Breakthrough: Australian Military Funds Human-Brain Cell Integrated Computer Chip"

The Australian military is funding a project to grow intelligent "mini-brains" in petri dishes, known as DishBrains, with the goal of designing better AIs and eventually merging them with human brain cells. Researchers at Monash University in Australia have already trained brain organoids to play Pong by stimulating electrodes in certain parts of the array to indicate the path of the ball and the location of the paddle. The next step is to address the issue of catastrophic forgetting in AI algorithms and develop systems capable of continual learning. Ultimately, the researchers aim to replace traditional computer chips with intelligent organoids to create advanced biocomputers. However, scaling up the number of cells in brain organoids and increasing their complexity remain significant challenges.

"Organoid Intelligence: The Future of Computing?"

Organoid Intelligence (OI) is a new field of computing that aims to create biocomputers using lab-grown brain organoids as "biological hardware." Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have been working with brain organoids, which promise to sustain basic functions like learning and remembering. By scaling up production of brain organoids and training them with artificial intelligence, biocomputers could support superior computing speed, processing power, data efficiency, and storage capabilities. OI could also revolutionize drug testing research for neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodegeneration.
