A Swiss startup, FinalSpark has developed a “biocomputer” that integrates living brain cells, known as #organoids, into computing systems. This innovation, using #wetwarecomputing, promises significant energy efficiency compared to traditional digital processors. Organoids are lab-grown clusters of brain cells that mimic human brain functions. FinalSpark’s system, which connects these organoids to electrodes, is claimed to consume far less energy while maintaining powerful processing capabilities. This breakthrough could revolutionise both computing and organoid research, with applications ranging from AI to drug testing. The study has been published in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence. #scottspeaks #futureliteracy

The Future of Computing: Swiss Startup Unveils Living Bioprocessors Imagine a world where computers are powered by living brain cells, consuming a fraction of the energy used by traditional silicon chips. This sci-fi vision is now a reality, thanks to a groundbreaking Swiss startup, FinalSpark. They've launched Neuroplatform, the world's first online system that allows scientists to harness the computing power of #LivingBrainCells. At the heart of this biocomputing marvel are 16 tiny clumps of human brain cells, called #organoids, acting as mini 'bioprocessors.' These living computers combine traditional hardware with biological components, rewarding the organoids with dopamine to train them. The implications are staggering. FinalSpark claims that bioprocessors like Neuroplatform consume a million times less power than digital processors. In an era where energy concerns surrounding #AIDataCenters are mounting, this breakthrough could pave the way for more sustainable and efficient computing solutions. While biocomputing is still in its infancy, the potential for applications in fields like #neuroscience, #drugdiscovery, and #AIresearch is immense. Imagine harnessing the complexity of living neural networks to tackle some of the most challenging computational problems. Of course, these living biocomputers may not be ready to scale and train massive AI models anytime soon. But as they continue to evolve, they could revolutionize the way we think about computing, blurring the lines between the digital and biological realms. As we stand on the precipice of this brave new world, one thing is clear: the future of computing is alive, and it's powered by the very essence of life itself – the human brain.

THE MATTERVERSE at Dublin Tech Summit 2024 In this era of exponential technology, where fields of knowledge are merging and the exponential pace of industrial development in quantum computing, 2D materials, nano assembly, omics, AI, and machine learning is leading to the creation of hybrid sectors, there is a palpable need for new models of interdisciplinary interaction. No longer quantum industry can be regarded as separate from the music industry or oil & gas industry as separate from AI industry or the compute and ICT industry as separate from biology. But how can stakeholders from vastly different fields gain insight into each other's horizons? How can these insights be leveraged to facilitate the collision of ideas, agents, actions, and interactions that could accelerate interdisciplinary policy, investment, technology, and impact generation? Join Zina Jarrahi Cinker, Ph.D. on May 30 at Dublin Tech Summit as she answers these questions and welcomes the new era of the MATTERVERSE and exponential technology. 🔹 May 30 | 13:40-13:55 | Prism Main Stage for ‘THE MATTERVERSE" #puzzlex #matterverse #exponentialtech #dublintechsummit

Denmark has launched Gefion, its first AI supercomputer, one of the fastest globally, to advance research and innovation across sectors like clean energy, biotechnology, and quantum computing. Developed by NVIDIA and the Novo Nordisk Foundation, Gefion is hosted at Denmark's Center for AI Innovation (DCAI) in a renewable-energy-powered data center. Inaugurated on October 23, 2024, the supercomputer aims to strengthen Denmark’s AI sovereignty, enabling it to build AI solutions reflecting Danish values and addressing global issues like climate change, disease, and food security. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang emphasized that Gefion will create "a factory of intelligence" and serve as critical infrastructure for Denmark's competitive positioning. Initial pilot projects involve partners like the Danish Meteorological Institute, the University of Copenhagen, and startups exploring applications in quantum computing, disease mutation analysis, and AI-enhanced healthcare.
