Science_AI# Australian startup creates data center based on human brain cells

Startup Cortical Labs has begun creating two data centers powered by the use of human brain cells, according to Bloomberg.

The technology is based on neurons cultivated in laboratory conditions from stem cells. They are placed on special silicon chips that send electrical impulses into biological tissue and record the response. The software interacts with the cells, interpreting their activity as computational results.

In effect, the startup is creating a hybrid system where living tissue acts as a processor.

Advantages and energy efficiency

The main advantage of this approach is the extremely low power consumption.

Neurons consume very little energy compared to traditional AI processors. Founder and CEO of the startup, Hon Veng Chong, emphasized that each CL1 unit uses fewer resources than a pocket calculator.

According to Chong, 120 CL1 modules will be installed at the Melbourne site, while in Singapore, their number is planned to reach 1,000 units. The startup aims to offer the market an alternative to traditional server racks, although it may take decades to fully replace conventional equipment.

The project reflects scientists’ efforts to find solutions to the problem of computing power shortages. Amid the AI boom, experts already call energy the most valuable resource in the world, prompting the industry to seek less energy-intensive data processing methods.

Despite currently modest performance metrics, Cortical Labs systems demonstrate steady development. One of the company’s first achievements was training brain cells to play Pong, and in February of this year, the biological system was able to interact with the iconic shooter Doom.

Recall that in August 2024, Swiss company FinalSpark created a computer architecture from human brain organoids. The company rents out its computing power to researchers for $500 per month.

Earlier, Chinese scientists developed a robot with a lab-grown artificial brain capable of learning to perform various tasks.
