Swiss lab where researchers are working to create computers powered by mini human brains revealed in new report — mini brain organoids revealed, developers say 'we shouldn't be scared of them'

A BBC report showcases a Swiss lab developing computers powered by mini human brains, known as organoids, created by FinalSpark. These organoids are lab-grown brains made from a single type of neural building block. The process involves cultivating stem cells into clusters of neurons that eventually form the organoids used for biocomputing. While the maintenance of organoids presents challenges, they are viewed as computers made from different materials, not to be feared. Biocomputing aims to prompt organoids to respond to simple commands, with potential applications in AI and drug research for neurological conditions. Wetware technology is seen as a complement to traditional silicon-based computing, offering brain-like efficiency in processing.
