Australian biotech company Cortical Labs is building computers that combine living human neurons with silicon electronics. Its CL1 platform grows neural cells directly on a custom chip, where electrodes send signals into the network and record the neurons’ electrical responses. Cortical Labs markets the idea as “Actual Intelligence” rather than artificial intelligence. That phrase is…
