SCIENTISTS ARE WEAVING HUMAN BRAIN CELLS INTO MICROCHIPS

Brain Jack

It’s not unusual for artificial intelligence developers to take inspiration from the human brain when designing their algorithms or the circuitry they run on, but now a project is taking that biological inspiration a step further.

Scientists from England’s Aston University are physically integrating human brain stem cells into AI microchips, according to a university press release. The goal, the scientists say, is to push the boundaries of what AI can do by borrowing some of the human brain’s processing capabilities.

Neural Boost

The project, dubbed Neu-ChiP, sounds like the beginning of a sci-fi B movie where all-powerful AI runs amok. Typically, projects like this in the field of neuromorphic or brain-inspired computing focus on making AI algorithms more efficient, but Neu-ChiP aims to make them more powerful, too.

Maybe they’ve already done it to Traitor Joek.

Will it be considered RAM or ROM?

It’s partially here, and the full monty isn’t far off.

And surfing girly sites would explain why your new PC is wet.

Funny how scientists Designed artificial intelligence but refuse to believe in the fact that Someone(God) Designed Man and the Universe....

Feeling sluggish, your gal going out with some one smarter, Try our new and improved brains on a chip - show her who’s really smart. Kick data in the face of those ‘smart’ guys.

Tried that at home, that's why my PC is so slow.

Came home and found it crashed on my couch!

My plan is to have 100 Gigabytes of these devices implanted in my skull once they become widely available on Amazon or Fry’s Electronics. I’m assuming that will get me back to least the intelligence level of Albert Einstein or Mike Lindell.

Might actually find a use for the liberal brain cell. Abby Normal is a good doner.
