The organoids only live about 100 days, then, ostensibly, the AI dies.
Swiss technology firm FinalSpark recently launched a program that allows scientists to rent cloud access to “biocomputers” made out of human brain cells for a mere $500 a month.
The purpose of these biocomputers, according to FinalSpark, is to develop a highly efficient, low-energy solution to the ballooning costs associated with developing artificial intelligence models. The company says it could be as much as 100,000 times more efficient to use computers made of organic material to train AI than it is to use traditional silicon-based technology.
According to FinalSpark founder Fred Jordan, Neurospark is the only company to offer access to computers made out of clumps of human brian cells (called organoids). Their technology can be viewed live online.
