The AI revolution is speeding ahead, and it's taking our brains with it. That is a bit of a double entendre, as we come to rely more and more on smart software like ChatGPT to formulate ideas and do our work while artificial intelligence is also busy extending into something called 'Brainoware'. To explain the latter situation, biotech enthusiasts have connected clusters of human brain cells to a computer, allowing it to perform a rudimentary form of speech recognition.
The ultimate aim, they say, is to create systems that consume significantly less energy for AI tasks compared to traditional silicon chips. This may just make the 'A' in AI obsolete. A research paper formally published today in the journal Nature Electronics featured work by scientists at Indiana University Bloomington, explaining the new 'Brainoware' system that they say uses human brain organoids in completing advanced AI task
