Scientists Discuss the Future of Biological Computing

Can you make a computer chip out of neurons Neil deGrasse Tyson and cohosts Chuck Nice and Gary OReilly explore organoid intelligence, teaching neurons to play Pong, and how biology can enhance technology with neuroscientist and Chief Scientific Officer at Cortical Labs, Brett Kagan. Can you make computers out of biological building blocks Learn about how neurons selforganize, embodied networks, and how to help computers understand the real world. We explore whether AGI can be achieved with wetware or with siliconbased hardware. We talk about what animals do well computationally and how long it takes for a neural network to learn how to play Pong. How do information systems work on a fundamental level Learn about The Free Energy Principle and how scientists utilize entropy to train neural networks. How do you gauge intelligence in a system What are the ethics of creating a biological form of intelligence We discuss whether a biological AGI could develop consciousness and the differen
