We’ve long relied on silicon chips to power AI, but what if intelligence could be grown instead of just coded? Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI) merges AI with living neurons to create adaptable, self-learning systems—pushing the boundaries of what we consider “intelligent.”
An Australian company, just launched the a “biological computer” that blends human brain cells with silicon hardware. This Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI) could redefine AI’s future, making it faster, more adaptable, and energy-efficient.
𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (𝗦𝗕𝗜),
where AI meets biology to create living, learning systems. Imagine:
🧬 Biocomputers that evolve like nature but think like machines.
🦠 Self-healing, self-adapting materials for future tech interfaces.
🧠 Brain-inspired AI that feels, learns, and interacts like humans do.
The possibilities are fascinating but also raise 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
⚖️ Who owns or controls bio-intelligent systems?
🌍 What are the risks of merging AI with living organisms?
We’re on the brink of something revolutionary. What excites (or concerns) you most about Synthetic Biological Intelligence?
