"Scientists Create Hybrid Biochip with Human Brain Cells, Unleashing Speech Recognition and Math Skills"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Bored Panda
Scientists have made progress in creating a brain-like computing system by integrating real human brain tissue with electronics in a process called Brainoware. The system, which uses brain organoids connected to microelectrodes, demonstrated the ability to perform tasks like speech recognition and math problems. While the system is slightly less accurate than pure hardware computers running on artificial intelligence, it represents an important step towards a new kind of computer architecture. However, ethical considerations surrounding the use of human neural tissue in computing systems need to be addressed. The research could provide insights into learning mechanisms, neural development, and cognitive implications of neurodegenerative diseases.
