Open and remotely accessible Neuroplatform for research in wetware computing

In this episode of the Aye Aye AI podcast, we delve into the revolutionary field of wetware computing. Dr. Fred Jordan, CEO of FinalSpark, shares his journey from traditional computer science to exploring the efficiency of organic neurons over silicon computers. Discover the parallels between this emerging field and the early days of machine learning, AI and quantum computing. Could wetware computing be the solution to the massive energy demands of data centers?
