Biocomputing & Ai, with Dr. Ewelina Kurtys
🧠 The Future of Computing is Alive — Literally.
What if your next computer wasn’t made of silicon… but of living neurons?
In this new episode of the Unriveted Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Ewelina Kurtys, neuroscientist and co-founder of Final Spark, one of only three companies in the world pioneering biocomputing — computers powered by real, living brain cells.
🎧 In this episode, we discuss:
What biocomputing is and why it could be the next leap beyond AI and quantum computing
How neurons can process data a million times more efficiently than digital chips
The vision for bio cloud computing — massive, neuron-powered data centers
How scientists are learning to “teach” neurons to think and learn
The philosophical and ethical dimensions: could these systems become conscious?
😄 A few light moments:
“Our brains run on a banana, but AI needs a nuclear plant.”
A “neuron spa” to keep biocomputers alive.
And yes — neurons can make music (though Ewelina says it’s more heavy metal than symphony 🎸).
