Using neurons to build AI systems and beyond

Показать описание
There are a lot of ethical questions when it comes to using neurons to build AI systems, but different forms of "biocomputing" are already being developed – and they're evolving rapidly.

The concept was introduced through a Monash University project in Australia known as the DishBrain project. Researchers grew ~800,000 brain cells on a chip and taught it to play the game Pong in just five minutes.

The project’s success led to funding from the Australian military and the formation of Cortical Labs.

Why explore this option? While GPUs are costly to manufacture and use a ton of electricity, neurons can be grown in a lab and, according to the Cortical Labs Chief Scientific Officer Brett Kagan, "neuron-enhanced biocomputers appear to learn much faster" and use "much less power, than today's AI machine learning chips."

But if we're using living cells, are these considered living systems? And what happens if they develop enough to mimic human intelligence? What do you think about this convergence of biology and technology?

Thats how cortana was born from a cloned brain cell of Dr Halsey.

My guy is worried about the rights of a machine when most humans don't have the rights he's talking about.

Yay ... Dead Grandma finally has a use again.
I can finally use ray tracing

psychprofile AI fixes this (AI Psychological Profiles). Using neurons raises ethical questions.

"I have no mouth and I must screamed" moments are being made, please, please let the AI love humans, not hate us.

I can see it now, 30-40 years from now we're going to have our very own floating skull Servitor, just like in Warhammer 40k.

"The Thought Emporium" YT channel is doing a development series on this, their goal is to have it play Doom.

One way of how this is far more efficient than traditional AI:

Digital has the downside of being discrete due to how a computer is set up. This means "fuzzy" situations have to be approximated or processed in some manner. Compare this to analog situations such as the resulting wave when two waves are combined. No need to do a bunch of fancy computations, just generate two small scale waves, mix them, and measure the resulting wave. It's a simplification but that's the general gist of it; some complex systems or interactions can be represented through some physical interactions, reducing several steps of computation to measurement. You can also have a system feed into another system, meaning you can create a network of analog computers. Ofc an issue with this is needing to handle noise since it plays a bigger role than usual, you also need a framework of sorts to interpret analog results into their digital counterpart. Analog solutions also tend to be specialized, meaning they're not as robust as digital systems (they require more work to alter and maintain). Considering how AI development is transitioning from general use to specialized use cases, this isn't a big deal.

If its Mum and Dad weren't humans, it and its successors aren't humans either.

Getting closer to Warhammer styled tech with this idealogy

I think it's best used in stationary objects as cells can grow n divide.... a point may come where they are no longer following the commands we give them.

It is like the movie 'Saturn 3'!

i am scared that we as a species made it this far

I see one problem with bio computing but I may be wrong, wouldn’t we have to train each bio computer separately? We don’t have the tech to train one copy the pathways and duplicate that right?

Where did u get those brain cells? If consent was granted, how well informed was the donor?

If the ai can grow and think for itself wouldn't it be classed as sentient which means it can hurt us at will or go to war for nothing

I need some brain-matter in my PC please... In addition to a Servitor so i can fulfill my obligations to the Omnissiah more efficiently.
