Listen Later

Impact at Scale had an enlightening conversation with Fred Jordan, co-founder and co-CEO of FinalSpark. FinalSpark wants to revolutionize computing by moving AI from digital processors to bioprocessors built from living neurons, thus saving vast amounts of energy.


Fred discusses the development of a processor that uses living neurons to perform computations. He explains that the human brain is much more energy-efficient than digital processors and shares the challenges and ethical implications of this technology.


The conversation provides a fascinating introduction and insight into the field of biocomputing and wetware computing, which has the potential to be the future of all computing.


Some Topics Fred Covered

  • Development of a Living Processor
  • Training Neurons in Artificial and Biological Networks
  • Ethical Implications and Challenges in AI


    • Other Titles We Considered

    1. Using digital computation is not really efficient at all.
    2. Trying to simulate a brain would take a small nuclear plant
    3. We need to think of computing in a biological sense
      4. ...more
