Scientists have taken a groundbreaking step in the ever-evolving quest to create an artificial mind. Clusters of human brain cells grown in the lab (called “brain organoids”) were connected to computer chips, allowing them to perform basic tasks such as recognition. spoken words. This is a remarkable new frontier in biocomputing and could pave the way for computers that behave like the human brain and outperform traditional machines in efficiency.
The researchers created brain organoids from stem cells, integrated them with computer chips, and linked a system called Brainware to AI tools. In the hybrid setting, the ability to process, learn, and retain information was demonstrated, and rudimentary speech recognition capabilities were demonstrated.
“This is the first demonstration using brain organoids. [for computing]”It’s exciting to see the potential of organoids in the future of biocomputing,” said Feng Guo of Indiana University Bloomington.
was announced on nature electronics, This research paves the way for potential advances in biocomputing and suggests the prospect of more efficient systems compared to traditional computers.
Brain-inspired computing hardware aims to emulate the structure and operating principles of the brain and can be used to address current limitations in artificial intelligence technology, according to a published research paper. There is a possibility. However, brain-inspired silicon chips are still limited in their ability to fully mimic brain function, as most examples are built on digital electronic principles.
Brainoware is a “bridge between AI and organoids,” Guo said. “Organoids are like ‘mini-brains.'”
“We wanted to ask the question: Can biological neural networks within brain organoids be exploited for computing? This is just a proof of concept to show that we can do the job.” Guo said.
