About this listen

Kevin Cirilli and Dr. Fred Jordan explore whether the next generation of AI will be powered not by chips — but by living neurons. They break down the global biocomputing push, from organoids that can learn tasks to Australian neurons playing Pong and U.S. labs using mini-brains to model Alzheimer’s. Dr. Jordan explains the biggest challenge ahead — organoids die without blood vessels — and why he believes future data centers could mix silicon with biology to unlock enormous efficiency gains. A sharp, provocative conversation on what happens when computers become alive enough to learn, adapt, and eventually… die.
