Are we on the brink of creating a machine with a human BRAIN?
But scientists have already said that brain organoids may cross an 'ethical line' Experts present vision for the next computing stage - 'organoid intelligence' For decades, the field of artificial intelligence has aimed to create computers that have the capabilities of a human brain. OI uses organoids – tiny lab-grown tissue resembling fully grown organs – as a form of 'biological hardware' and potentially a smarter alternative to the silicon chips in AI. Each organoid contains about 50,000 cells, about the size of a fruit fly's nervous system – although this would have to be scaled-up to build an OI computer Researchers describe their roadmap for organoid intelligence and the possible applications in the journal Frontiers in Science Brain organoids would then be trained 'using biofeedback, big-data warehousing, and machine learning methods', the team explain. Brain organoids could spark 'Planet of the Apes' scenario if lab-grown human tissue is transplanted into animals - OI computers running this 'biological hardware' could in the next decade begin to alleviate energy-consumption demands of supercomputing that are becoming increasingly unsustainable.
