That&#8217;s about a third the size of a fruit fly brain. They&#8217;re aiming for 10 million neurons which would be about the number of neurons in a tortoise brain. By comparison, the average human brain has more than 80 billion neurons.<\/p>\n<p>The article highlights how the human brain continues to massively outperform machines for particular tasks. Humans, for example, can learn to distinguish two types of objects (such as a dog and a cat) using just a few samples, while AI algorithms need many thousands. And while AI beat the world champion in Go in 2016, it was trained on data from 160,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s\u2014the equivalent of playing for five hours each day, for more than 175 years.<\/p>\n<p>Brains are also more energy efficient. Our brains are thought to be able to store the equivalent of more than a million times the capacity of an average home computer (2.5 petabytes), using the equivalent of just a few watts of power. US data farms, by contrast, use more than 15,000 megawatts a year, much of it generated by dozens of coal-fired power stations.<\/p>\n<p>In the paper, the authors outline their plan for &#8220;organoid intelligence,&#8221; or OI, with the brain organoids grown in cell-culture. Although brain organoids aren&#8217;t &#8220;mini brains,&#8221; they share key aspects of brain function and structure. Organoids would need to be dramatically expanded from around 50,000 cells currently. &#8220;For OI, we would need to increase this number to 10 million,&#8221; says senior author Prof Thomas Hartung of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mb-4\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Real AI will need biology: computers powered by human brain cells\"\/><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\/?v=Dgihhl2SR20\"\/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Credit:  Frontiers in Science  (2023).

A recent paper in <i>Neuron<\/i> showed that a flat culture of brain cells could learn to play the video game Pong.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have shown we can interact with living biological neurons in such a way that compels them to modify their activity, leading to something that resembles intelligence,&#8221; says Kagan of the relatively simple Pong-playing DishBrain. &#8220;Working with the team of amazing people assembled by Professor Hartung and colleagues for this Organoid Intelligence collaboration, Cortical Labs is now trying to replicate that work with brain organoids.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would say that replicating [Cortical Labs&#8217;] experiment with organoids already fulfills the basic definition of OI,&#8221; says Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From here on, it&#8217;s just a matter of building the community, the tools, and the technologies to realize OI&#8217;s full potential,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This new field of biocomputing promises unprecedented advances in computing speed, processing power, data efficiency, and storage capabilities\u2014all with lower energy needs,&#8221; Brett says. &#8220;The particularly exciting aspect of this collaboration is the open and collaborative spirit in which it was formed.
