EP 37: Neurons: Future of AI Processing
Data Science With Sam by Soumava Dey
Episode notes
What if the next generation of computers wasn't made of silicon — but of living human neurons? Not simulated neurons, not artificial neural networks inspired by biology, but actual brain cells grown in a lab, connected to electrodes, and used to process information. That's not science fiction anymore. It's happening right now at FinalSpark, a Swiss startup building the world's first remotely accessible biocomputing platform.
In this episode, Sam talks with Dr. Ewelina Kurtys, a neuroscientist with a PhD in brain imaging and a postdoctoral researcher at King's College London, about how living neurons could revolutionise computing — and why they use one million times less energy than silicon-based AI hardware.
