While the world focuses on the power consumption of massive AI data centers, researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, are looking at a more efficient alternative: the human brain.

Though it may seem like fiction, we may one day see computational hardware constructed from living human brain cells rather than traditional silicon. A biocomputer harnesses biologically derived ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

Cortical Labs uses human brain cells attached to silicon chips to create biological computers that could offer energy ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Jason Alan Snyder is a technologist covering AI and innovation. New research shows brain-computer interfaces can decode inner ...

Objectives: Brain‒computer interfaces (BCI) are currently used in clinical studies but mostly rely on population level signals that limit their precision, facing challenges of interpretability and ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. We stand at the cusp of a massive technology paradigm shift that ...

For decades, neuroscientists focused almost exclusively on only half of the cells in the brain. Neurons were the main players, they thought, and everything else was made up of uninteresting support ...
