AI infrastructure may be heading somewhere unexpected. Researchers are now exploring “wetware”, computing systems powered by living human brain cells instead of traditional silicon. The idea sounds like science fiction, but experiments in biological computing are already underway. If brain cells can process information more efficiently than chips, could the future of AI run partly on biology? https://t.co/OAcwCgiPnO @futurism
