🧠💻 Meet CL1 — The World’s First Commercial Biological Computer Unveiled at an international tech conference in Barcelona, Melbourne-based Cortical Labs has launched CL1, a groundbreaking system powered by lab-grown human neurons — available through a cloud-based “Wetware-as-a-Service” model. These living neurons can learn from inputs, building on the company’s 2022 feat of teaching neurons to play Pong. 🚀 Potential applications: Disease modeling & drug testing Next-gen AI development Ultra-efficient, low-power computing 💡 Unlike traditional AI, CL1 can process small datasets faster and with far less energy — but it’s still early days, with scientists working to unlock its full potential. This could be the start of a whole new era — where biology and technology merge in ways we’ve only imagined. #BioComputer #CorticalLabs #CL1 #NeuroTech #WetwareAsAService #AIInnovation #FutureComputing #TechBreakthrough #BarcelonaTech #BiologicalAI

vCortical Labs' CL1, a revolutionary biological computer, integrates living human brain cells grown on silicon chips, aiming for adaptable and energy-efficient computing; this "Synthetic Biological Intelligence" (SBI) utilizes a "Biological Intelligence Operating System" (biOS) and holds potential for medical research, robotics, and cloud computing, while raising crucial ethical considerations about sentience. #BiologicalComputing #AI #NeuralNetworks #futuretech #ArtificialIntelligence #Neuroscience #BioTech #CorticalLabs #CL1 #SyntheticBiology #EthicalAI
