Cutting Energy Costs with Biological Computing Tech
It’s hard to ignore the contradiction at the heart of modern computing: We build ever-more robust AI systems while burning more energy to run them. As generative AI booms and cloud usage expands, data centers expand and more electricity is needed. With each leap in intelligence, we double down on a system that threatens to overheat globally. So what if the future of computing wasn’t silicon? What if it were alive?
Fred Jordan, physicist and founder of FinalSpark, is doing more than asking the question. His team is answering it by working to build the first living processors. These systems use…
