You Can Now Rent a Groundbreaking Flesh Computer Grown in a British Lab The future of computing is upon us, and it looks decidedly organic. The world is now offering the first commercial hybrid of silicon circuitry and human brain cells, and it’s ready for rent! Developed in a cutting-edge British laboratory, this remarkable biological machine is set to redefine our understanding of medical , “The real gift of this technology is not to computer science — at the moment. Rather, it is an enabling technology that allows scientists to perform experiments on a little brain,” said Professor Karl Friston (UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology) on a new biological computer., Developed by Australian startup Cortical Labs and U.K.-based bit.bio, this shoebox-sized machine houses 200,000 lab-grown brain cells wired to silicon circuits, creating a "biological computer" that's already turning heads. Unlike traditional computers, which guzzle energy, CL1 operates with the efficiency of a human brain., As profiled by Live Science, Swiss startup FinalSpark has launched a service wherein scientists can rent “biocomputers”, which they say uses 100,000 times less energy than current top-of-the-line AI hardware. These computer platforms are created by lab-grown cells known as organoids., Australian biotech company Cortical Labs has introduced what it claims to be "the world’s first code deployable biological computer," which combines human brain cells with traditional, .
