US EditionWorld's first commercial biological computer is here, powered by human brain cells
- An Australian startup named Cortical Labs has launched the world's first commercial biological computer, the CL1, powered by living human brain cells, at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week.
- The CL1 uses lab-grown neurons on a silicon chip and has a life support system to keep the neurons alive for up to six months.
- The first CL1 computers are expected to ship in June for approximately $35,000, and the company emphasizes its potential for innovation and ethical considerations.
- Dr. Kagan expressed excitement about potential uses for the CL1, stating, 'Brett Kagan is excited to see how groups might use CL1 in ways not yet imagined'.

The Australian company Cortical Labs has introduced the CL1 to the world's first commercial biological computer that combines human brain cells with silicon hardware. This technology, known as the SBI, was officially introduced in Barcelona on March 2, 2025 and promises to redefine the boundaries between artificial and biological intelligence, allegedly not to create awareness. At the core of the CL1 system are hundreds of thousands of human neu…
Australian company Cortical Labs has unveiled what it calls “the world’s first viable biological computer,” which combines human brain cells with silicon-based components. The system, known as CL1, was unveiled at MWC 2025 in Barcelona and is exploring potential applications in artificial intelligence and machine learning. CL1 consists of a silicon chip on the surface of which human neurons have been grown in the laboratory. These neurons have t…
