Fred Jordan, co-founder of FinalSpark, joins us to explore one of the most radical frontiers in modern technology: biological computing built from living human neurons. He explains how neural organoids grown from stem cells are connected to electrodes and accessed remotely over the internet, offering a radically more energy-efficient alternative to traditional silicon-based AI.
The conversation covers:
· How living neurons know how to learn
· Training neural tissue using dopamine-based reward systems
· The overlooked role of glial cells in intelligence
· AI agents running experiments on biological networks
· Why biological computing uses far less energy than silicon
· Ethical questions and research limitations
· What this technology could mean for the future of AI and computing
