TBC’s Alex Ksendzovsky: The Neurosurgeon Using Brain Cells To Build Better AI
Ever since neurosurgeon Alex Ksendzovsky was in college, he’s been captivated by an idea worthy of a mad scientist: turning brain cell ‘wetware’ into ‘software’ that can make predictions and help train AI.
It sounds like science fiction, but at Ksenzovsky’s startup The Biological Computing Co., or TBC, the founder swears it’s already reality. A model improved with algorithms derived from a process that involves connecting a dish of neurons to tiny electrodes demonstrated a 27-fold efficiency gain.
“I have about 500 million years of evidence behind me,” Ksendzovsky says. “So our moat is…
