Synthetic biology: A new approach to computation and intelligence

The human neuron is self programming, infinitely flexible, the result of four billion years of evolution. An organic mind is a better learner than any digital model.

Cortical Labs fuses brain cells with computing chips, resulting in a proto-AGI device. Their experimental DishBrain shot to prominence after it was taught to play the computer game Pong.

So Cortical Labs is starting with the neuron, replacing decades of algorithms with millions of years of evolution. What happens as these native intelligences solve the problems we’d previously left to software?

CogX - The World’s Biggest Festival of AI and Transformational Tech
“How do we get the next 10 years right?“:
The CogX Festival started in 2017 to focus attention on the rising impact of AI on Industry, Government and Society, a subject which has never been higher on the global agenda. Over 6 years, CogX has now evolved to be a Festival of Inspiration, Impact and Transformational Change, with its mission to address the question.
