Futurism, The Byte – February 5, 2021.  “Our aim is to harness the unrivaled computing power of the human brain…” Brain Jack It’s not unusual for artificial intelligence developers to take inspiration from the human brain when designing their algorithms or the circuitry they run on, but now a project is taking that biological inspiration a step further. Scientists from England’s Aston University are physically integrating human brain stem cells into AI microchips, according to a university press release. The goal, the scientists say, is to push the boundaries of what AI can do by borrowing some of the human brain’s processing capabilities. […] Click here to view original web page at futurism.com
