What if the next generation of artificial intelligence wasn’t built on silicon chips — but on living neurons?In this episode of Rethinking Tech, Harinda sits down with Fred Jordan, CEO of FinalSpark, to explore how his team is creating the world’s first biocomputers — AI systems powered by biological neurons that promise to be 1,000x more energy efficient than today’s GPUs.This is more than just science fiction: it’s a story about the future of AI, the environment, innovation, and ethics. From the labs of Switzerland to the halls of Brussels, the implications are global — from climate impact and national security to geopolitics and regulation.🔥 In this episode, we cover:🧠 The science of running AI on living neurons🌱 Why biocomputing could end AI’s energy crisis💡 How this breakthrough could reshape innovation & investment🌍 The geopolitical stakes of Europe’s role in biocomputing⚖️ The ethics of live neurons powering technology📜 What it means for lawmakers, scientists, and technologists worldwide⏰ Chapters00:00 – Introduction to Final Spark and Founders' Background03:09 – Innovative Approach: Biological Neurons in AI05:29 – Vision and Goals of Final Spark07:22 – Challenges in Funding and Investment09:24 – Geopolitical Landscape and EU's Role in AI11:47 – Navigating Investment Opportunities and Challenges14:05 – Future of AI Regulation and National Security Concerns21:54 – Ethical Considerations in Biocomputing23:05 – The Future of Biocomputing and Intellectual Property24:39 – Building an Ecosystem for Innovation29:00 – Energy Efficiency and Biocomputing36:06 – Navigating Ethical Challenges in Technology39:49 – The Human Element in Technological Advancement📌 Who should watch this?AI researchers and engineersEnvironmentalists fighting climate changeLegislators & regulators shaping tech policyBiologists and neuroscientists exploring new frontiersAnyone curious about the future of intelligence and computing👉 Subscribe to Rethinking Tech for deep dives at the intersection of AI, biology, ethics, and global power.
