A Biological Data Centre represents a new generation of computing infrastructure. Instead of relying solely on conventional silicon chips, it uses “wetware” — living biological neurons derived from stem cells — to process information and support AI systems. In contrast to traditional data centres, which depend on energy-intensive servers, biological computing offers the potential for significantly greater efficiency by harnessing brain-like organoids that can operate using only a fraction of the power required by digital computers.
As grim as it sounds, this is probably just a grift. It sounds like they’re using stem cells as wires, and they’ll die eventually. There’s some ai word salad in the article too.
This is definitely a grift.
Most importantly, “AI” doesn’t exist. Secondly there is absolutely zero “AI” technologies that need “support” from these petri dishes.
Hmmm… Later in the article it changes from “it uses to support AI” to “it could complement AI”. Curious.
Actually the first quote from OP isn’t even in the article. Did they update it because it’s fake?
