Scientists Are Building Computers from Living Neurons
Welcome to ScienceLand
I’m Esra Öz — a science, health, and technology journalist.
Today we’re diving into a mind-bending topic: building computers from living neurons!
My guest is neuroscientist Dr. Ewelina Kurtys.
We’ll explore what neuron-based computers really are, why today’s AI systems are not enough, and how biology could help solve AI’s growing energy problem. Let’s begin!
1. Building computers from living neurons… It sounds like science fiction. What are you really doing?
2. Today’s AI systems are powerful, but why do you think they are not enough?
3. When will neuron-based computers enter our daily lives?
4. How can this technology solve AI’s energy problem?
5. Using human cells can be ethically controversial… What would you like to say to people about this?
6. Could you briefly introduce yourself and your team?
7. What is the latest status in the scientific papers you have published on this topic?
Dr. Ewelina Kurtys showed us how thin the boundary between biology and technology has become. The future of AI might just be hidden in nature itself… If you enjoyed this conversation, don’t forget to subscribe to ScienceLand and stay tuned for more stories from the world of science.
