Johns Hopkins develops 'organoid intelligence' for AI and defense

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University are developing three-dimensional "organoid intelligence" cultures that exhibit learning and memory capabilities. This biological computing approach aims to complement traditional AI, offering potential applications in drug testing, understanding brain disorders, and creating advanced brain-machine interfaces. The work is also being explored for defense applications, particularly in enhancing the autonomy and resilience of drones by mimicking the adaptive and energy-efficient nature of the human brain. AI

IMPACT Organoid intelligence could offer new pathways for biological computing and brain-machine interfaces, potentially enhancing AI capabilities.
