At the University of Indiana, researchers have created “brainware” from human brain cells – clumps of tissue growing in a Petri dish – that can perform rudimentary artificial intelligence operations. As a “proof of concept.”
You know, as in “we don’t know where this is going or what we might do with it, but we just want to see if it works.” It’s the lab coat version of “Hey Cooter, hold my beer… I wanna poke this with a stick.”
Trust the science. It’s given us Hiroshima, napalm, Agent Orange and Covid. What could possibly go wrong?
