Inventor Ponders Ethics Of Wiring Human Brain Tissue Into Computers

Cortical Labs is an Australian company that is doing groundbreaking work in integrating human brain tissue, grown from stem cells, into silicon electronics. This technology has demonstrated the ability to learn faster than neural networks and consume less power. In 2022, the company published a paper showing that the neurons exhibited sentience when wired into a computer chip and playing a game. Human neurons showed a significantly greater learning rate than mouse neurons. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way computers learn and process information.
