Exciting developments in biocomputing are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in energy-efficient AI. Swiss startup FinalSpark has unveiled the world's first online platform providing remote access to 16 human brain organoids.
AI model training consumes 60X more energy than a European city, but bioprocessors promise significant energy savings.
Key takeaways:
1️⃣ FinalSpark's Neuroplatform uses biological neurons in vitro for computing tasks.
2️⃣ Bioprocessors could consume up to a million times less power than traditional digital processors.
3️⃣ This technology has the potential to dramatically reduce the environmental impact of AI training and inference.
4️⃣ The platform is already accessible to nine institutions, with dozens more interested.
5️⃣ Current lifespan of these bioprocessor organoids is around 100 days.
Implications for the future of work are profound. As we grapple with the energy demands of AI, could biocomputing offer a sustainable solution? How might this shift the landscape of AI development and deployment? What might we learn about brain computer interfaces #BCI?
Fascinating to see the convergence of biology and computing. The #futureofwork may be more "organic" than we ever imagined.
