Brains in a Box: AI Just Got a Pulse
Forget silicon, your next AI might be made of neurons. Cortical Labs is selling a $35,000 bio-computer powered by lab-grown human brain cells. The question isn’t whether it works, but whether we’re ready for what comes next.
Cortical Labs has unveiled the CL1, a biological computer running on live neurons, marketed as the world’s first “code deployable biological computer.” By connecting neural tissue to electrodes and a life-support unit, the system mimics digital AI but with potential cognitive advantages.
- CL1 neurons react to environments inside a simulated world, shaping responses in real time.
- Researchers suggest bio-computers could surpass digital AI in efficiency and adaptability.
- Ethical concerns loom—are we engineering intelligence or something more?
This isn’t just a technological leap; it’s a shift in how we define intelligence itself. Are bio-computers a revolution in AI, or are we creating a new ethical frontier we aren’t prepared to cross?
