evilsocket · x · 2026-08-23
Singapore has launched a server powered by living human brain cells. Cortical Labs has assembled a rack of 20 biocomputers, each using millions of living human neurons grown from stem cells.
The technology's primary advantage is energy efficiency: such a biocomputer consumes around 1 kW, while a conventional AI server can use more than 100 kW. Developers hope to apply the technology in drug development, robotics, cybersecurity, and AI.
