Forget silicon. The future of computing might be flesh and blood. Recent research on Organoid Intelligence (OI) shook the world when a cluster of human neurons in a lab successfully learned to play 'Pong'.
Energy Efficiency: Brain vs Chip
A study in the journal Neuron by Cortical Labs shows that biological systems are 1 million times more energy-efficient than current silicon AI chips. The human brain needs only 20 watts, while supercomputers need megawatts.
Future Implications
Will we have 'living' servers? This sparks serious ethical debates. However, the potential of OI for Alzheimer's treatment and ultra-low energy computing is immense.
