世界各地的生物实验室正利用人类干细胞培育出大脑类器官，这些微型的神经组织拥有数以百万计的神经元，能够自发地建立连结并产生电讯号。当科技界正专注于以矽为基础的人工智慧时，部分科学家已经开始探索生命物质的潜力，尝试打造真正的生物计算系统。

澳洲的新创公司 Cortical Labs 成功开发出结合活体神经元与硬体的生物电脑，甚至训练这些神经元游玩《打砖块》与《毁灭战士》等电子游戏。同时，约翰霍普金斯大学等学术机构则将大脑类器官应用于药物开发与毒理测试，这比传统的动物实验更具准确性与实用价值。

虽然类器官智能的发展引发了关于意识和感知能力的伦理争议，但多数研究人员认为这些哲学问题目前只是干扰。科学家更专注于其实际应用，期望未来能打造出具备自我修复且极度节能的生物运算硬体，从而超越传统人工智慧的硬体限制。

Biological laboratories around the world are cultivating human brain organoids from stem cells, creating miniature neural tissues with millions of neurons that spontaneously form connections and generate electrical signals. While the tech industry focuses on silicon-based artificial intelligence, some scientists are exploring the potential of living matter to build genuine biological computing systems.

The Australian startup Cortical Labs has successfully developed biological computers that integrate living neurons with hardware, even training these neural cultures to play video games like Pong and Doom. Meanwhile, academic institutions like Johns Hopkins University are applying brain organoids to drug development and toxicology testing, offering a more accurate and practical alternative to traditional animal experiments.

Although the development of organoid intelligence has sparked ethical debates regarding consciousness and sentience, most researchers view these philosophical questions as current distractions. Scientists remain focused on practical applications, hoping to eventually build self-repairing and highly energy-efficient biological computing hardware that transcends the limitations of traditional artificial intelligence.
