Computer made out of human BRAINS could solve the world's energy crisis

There is a lot of fear about robots replacing human. But maybe it should be the machines worrying about us.

Swedish scientists have created the world's first 'living computer' that is made out of human brain tissue.

It composes of 16 organoids, or clumps of brain cells that were grown in a lab, which send information between each other.

They work much like a traditional computer chip - sending and receiving signals through their neurons that act like circuits.

But what makes them special is that the living machine uses less energy because living neurons can use over a one million times less energy than the current digital processors currently used.

When compared with the best computers in the world, such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise Frontier, the scientists found that for the same speed and 1,000 times more memory the human brain uses 10 to 20 watts -compared to the computer using 21 megawatts.

One megawatt is equal to one million watts.

The living machine was developed by scientists at FinalSparks, which focuses on creating solutions with biological neural networks.

Dr Fred Jordan, co-CEO of FinalSpark, a startup the focuses on creating solutions with biological neural networks, told DailyMail.com: ' This idea is common in science fiction, but there hasn't been a huge amount of real research into it.'

Organoids are tiny, self-organized three-dimensional tissue cultures made from stem cells.

Such cultures can be crafted to replicate much of the complexity of an organ, or to express selected aspects of it like producing only certain types of cells.

Scientists take the stems cells and cultivate them for about one month until they form features like neurons.

FinalSparks mini brains were built from an estimated 10,000 living neurons, about 0.5 mm in diameter

To me this is more dangerous than AI. With AI, we don't know what type of evils(if any) it will develop...we can only imagine and speculate. But, with the human mind, we know it's capable of harnessing hate and evil. Just imagine all the potential dangers this technology will create!
