An Australian startup, Cortical Labs, has released the CL1, a commercial biological computer that uses lab-cultivated human neurons on a silicon chip. This "Synthetic Biological Intelligence" (SBI) system, also known as "Wetware-as-a-Service," aims to revolutionize AI, drug discovery, and medical research by combining the speed and learning capabilities of biological neurons with the efficiency of silicon-based AI.
- The CL1 fuses lab-grown human neurons, derived from stem cells, with a silicon chip. The neurons, maintained in a built-in life support system, generate and receive electrical impulses, allowing the computer to learn and adapt in real-time.
- CL1 is designed for various applications, including disease modeling, drug development, and personalized medicine. It can also be used in AI development to create more efficient and sustainable AI models.
- CL1 offers advantages over traditional AI systems, including lower energy consumption and the ability to process information faster and more efficiently, especially with small datasets.
