This computer is made from real human brain cells. And you can buy it.

[00:00:00]A company just built a computer out of real human brain cells and you can actually buy this right now. It's called Cortical Labs built the world's first biological computer called the CL1 by growing real lab neurons into silicon chips. This isn't science fiction. This is actually a product that you can order today. But here's why this actually matters. Traditional computers need a bunch of energy and data to learn anything, but these new chips learn the same way that your brain does, needing very little information and using almost no power. In 2021, they grew neurons onto a chip and those neurons [music] figured out how to play Pong. Nobody programmed them how to do that. The brain cells just figured it out on their own. Just recently, they launched Cortical Cloud, meaning that now you don't even need a device. [music] You can launch code directly to real living neurons just through the internet. They even managed to get the video game Doom running on it. So while the entire AI industry is racing to solve the energy crisis with more data centers, more power, and more cooling, [music] Cortical Labs is moving the entire opposite direction.
