Living computers forge a 'hive mind' and work together to outsmart AI
In a new twist on the phrase "two heads are better than one," the makers of the world's first biological computer has found that putting 15 of these synthetic brains together has resulted in their collective human neurons working better and smarter.
Presenting this new model at the first International Conference on Organoid Intelligence in the US this week, Australia's Cortical Labs presented its new system called, quite fittingly, HIVE.
The system involves linking up 15 of the company's breakthrough CL1 biological computers, with the idea that instead of one machine powered by a group of brain cells solving problems and learning tasks, perhaps teamwork would take it to another level.
While more brainpower doesn't automatically lead to success – anyone who has done a group project will be acutely aware of this – HIVE's CL1 machines appeared to divide different aspects of the task presented, sorting into the most...
