Melbourne start-up launches 'biological computer' made of human brain cells

In 2022, a Melbourne start-up announced they’d taught neurons in a dish to play Pong. Now, they’re selling a "biological computer" made of thousands of human neurons.

> Last year, Monash University scientists created the "DishBrain" – a semi-biological computer chip with some 800,000 human and mouse brain cells lab-grown into its electrodes. Demonstrating something like sentience, it learned to play Pong within five minutes.

Australian DishBrain team wins $600,000 grant to merge AI with human brain cells

Team exploring field of synthetic biological intelligence hopes to create a machine that can ‘learn throughout its lifetime’ – despite concerns over the ‘existential risks’ of such technology

Trošku děsivý přístup k umělé inteligenci... doufám, že je to fake 🙂

Slightly scary attitude towards artifical intelligence... I hope it is fake 🙂

DishBrain: Australská armáda financuje čip s lidským minimozkem

Australští Cortical Labs a Monash University získali armádní grant na vývoj wetwaru pro pokročilé umělé inteligence, které budou ovládat autonomní stroje a přitom se budou učit na základě zkušeností získaných během „života.“ Lidské minimozky na čipech čekají velké věci a to brzy.

Scientists have created a computer chip with human brain tissue that can learn and play games. The "DishBrain" has 800,000 brain cells and shows signs of sentience. It could power the next generation of learning robots and AI. #DishBrain #BrainChip #AI https://newatlas.com/computers/human-brain-chip-ai/?utm_source=newsletter.airoad.io&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=human-brain-tissue-integrated-computer-chip-is-here

What's the matter with these ppl? Just bc you can doesn't mean you should.

Story from Oct. 2022 -

800k neurons in cell culture learned to play Pong in around 5 minutes

"If ‘DishBrain’ can learn to play Pong – what does this mean for science?
Brains-on-a-chip have existed for years but this is the first-time cells have been stimulated and measured for a response."

‘DishBrain’ can play Pong – what does this mean for science?

It sounds like the start of a nerdy joke: What can you do with 800,000 brain cells, a computer chip and Pong?
