The next revolution in computing might not be silicon-based — but alive, breathing, and growing in a lab. ➡️ Last year, I took a deep dive into organoid intelligence and since then a lot has happened (https://lnkd.in/gFMuaUb2). As AI demands continue to outstrip our planet's resources, researchers are turning to these fancy new computing organisms. ➡️ These tiny, living clusters of neurons, part of the emerging field of "Organoid Intelligence" (OI), promise to deliver computational power with a fraction of the energy needed by today's silicon chips. A single human brain uses only 20 watts— equivalent to a light bulb — while the fastest supercomputer guzzles megawatts. ➡️ FinalSpark, a Swiss startup, has developed a bioprocessor built from 16 organoids, capable of handling complex tasks like pattern recognition and decision-making. Despite the excitement, challenges such as the organoids' short lifespan and the difficulty in scaling this technology raise questions about its practicality. ❓ Can living computers truly rival silicon, or is this a fascinating but ultimately impractical dream?

https://lnkd.in/eqQt24KU A Swiss startup is entering the space of "biocomputer" Oversimplifying a bit is about building computers operating with organic biological materials, a bit like our brain. Just to give you the sense of where this could lead, let's read in the article the energy consumption perspective. "... One stark contrast between digital processors and bioprocessors is their potential for sustainability and reduced power consumption. While a single LLM such as GPT-3 requires 10 GWh (6,000x the yearly consumption of a European citizen), the human brain operates with approximately 86 billion neurons and consumes only 20 W of power. This suggests that bioprocessors, if one day viable, can act as sustainable replacements for an ANN..." #ai #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #biocomputing #bioprocessor

Making Proteins Glow with AI Thomas Hayes and colleagues at EvolutionaryScale, a startup that recently raised $142 million (https://lnkd.in/eAW4iuZH) from Amazon Web Services (AWS), NVIDIA GPU Ventures and Lux Capital, have created ESM3, an AI model focusing on protein design. Their manuscript "Simulating 500 million years of evolution with a language model" introduces esmGFP, a new fluorescent protein. It's as bright as natural GFPs but with a vastly different sequence from its closest known relative. ESM3 doesn't just create glowing proteins. It can predict protein structures, identify functions, and design proteins with specific attributes. The team, which includes former Meta AI-biology researchers, suggests ESM3 acts like an evolution simulator, exploring protein possibilities nature hasn't yet discovered. The team used computational methods to filter and rank their designs before experimental testing, suggesting a combined approach of AI-driven design and computational screening. Beyond accelerating protein engineering for biotechnology and medicine, this technology could also custom-design innovative proteins for industrial processes. How do you think these technologies might reshape protein engineering and biotechnology in the coming years?

16 Lab-Grown Brains Power the World's First Living Computer! #BioTech #AI #Organoids #futuretech . . . #Inzint In a groundbreaking development, 16 lab-grown human brains have been assembled to create the world's first living computer, designed by the innovative startup Final Spark. This bio-computer, named BioCom, boasts an impressive feat: it uses a million times less power than a traditional digital computer processor. Final Spark has also launched an online neuro platform, allowing researchers to conduct experiments with BioCom remotely via a server. This breakthrough is made possible by the use of organoids, which are simplified mini versions of real organs. Organoids are grown in a dish using cells from living organisms and can mimic the forms and functions of an actual organ. By cultivating cells from the human brain, the researchers have created mini brains that can be harnessed for computing. To sustain these brain cells, a sophisticated system provides the necessary nutrients and hydration, ensuring their viability for approximately 100 days. Final Spark's BioProcessors represent a significant leap forward in reducing energy consumption. With the rise of AI, the search for energy-efficient solutions has become crucial to protecting our climate and infrastructure. According to technological research and consulting firm Gartner, AI is projected to consume 3.5% of global electricity by 2030—more than the entire country of Germany uses today. However, the human brain uses only a fraction of the energy required by a digital computer, positioning BioCom as a promising solution to AI's energy dilemma.

Imagine a world where computers could 'think' as humans do. The zephyr of innovation is blowing across the field of computing, and at the eye of the storm is FinalSpark. A Swiss startup that has conjured up a bioprocessor - a marriage between machine and biological processing. Their creation - Neuroplatform uses 16 human brain organoids, taking steps towards replicating the natural wonders of human cognition in machines. The power? Just a million times less than your everyday digital processor. This radical hardware not only learns but also processes information, and simultaneously, slashes the environmental footprint of computing. However, these brain-like systems extend further than pure technology. They scratch at the surface of profound ethical implications. What does it mean for us when we blur the line between human intellect and machine processing? Obviously, it's an advance, but what are the costs? Is the future of technology held in the hand of biology, or will ethical boundaries pull us back from this precipice? #AI #BioComputing https://lnkd.in/ezZPaceB
