Mok, A. (2025, August 9). Chips with neural tissue aim to make AI more energy efficient: “Organoid intelligence” merges living neurons with hardware. IEEE Spectrum. https://spectrum.ieee.org/biochip-organoid-intelligence-ai-processor
AI enthusiasts were introduced to the concept of brain-inspired chips in July at the United Nations’ AI for Good Summit in Geneva. There, David Gracias, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, gave a talk discussing the latest research he’s led on biochips and their applications to AI. Focused on nanotech, intelligent systems, and bioengineering, Gracias’s research team (including our NRT Fellow, Chris Acha) is among the first to build a functioning biochip that combines neural organoids with advanced hardware, enabling chips to run on and interact with living tissue.
