Biohybrid Brainoware Computer Combines AI and Human Brain Cells, Shows Promise for Biocomputing
-
Researchers created a "Brainoware" biohybrid computer combining an AI system and a brain organoid grown from human stem cells.
-
The brain organoid responds to electrical pulses; the AI system was trained to recognize speech patterns based on the organoid's neural activity.
-
Brainoware achieved 78% accuracy in predicting which of 8 speakers was saying a vowel sound.
-
The system shows the potential to use human biology to boost computing capabilities in the future.
-
Brainoware requires significant resources to keep the organoid alive and is less accurate than traditional AI, but proves the concept of biocomputing.
