#104: Using Living Neurons to Power AI - Ewelina Kurtys

Imagine AI running not on silicone, but on biology. Our latest Energy Superhero, neuroscientist Dr. Ewelina Kurtys, is helping build a biocomputer using living neurons, the same building blocks as the human brain. The goal? Energy efficiency. Working at startup FinalSpark, Dr. Kurtys and her team are solving one of the greatest challenges of our day: the massive energy consumption of artificial intelligence. Dr. Kurtys and the Final Spark team’s biologically-based systems could completely revolutionize how we think about computing, considering neurons are up to one million times more energy efficient than current digital hardware.
