World's first commercial biological computer is here, powered by human brain cells

"Wetware-as-a-Service" provides access to neurons on a chip for computing
In brief: An unconventional form of artificial intelligence is taking shape in a nondescript laboratory in Melbourne, Australia. Cortical Labs has unveiled CL1 – an AI computer that fuses real human brain cells with silicon hardware. Remarkably, it's been launched commercially as the "world's first commercialized biological computer."

Scientists spent 10 years on a superbug mystery - Google's AI solved it in 48 hours

The co-scientist model came up with several other plausible solutions as well
Cutting corners: Researchers at Imperial College London say an artificial intelligence-based science tool created by Google needed just 48 hours to solve a problem that took them roughly a decade to answer and verify on their own. The tool in question is called "co-scientist" and the problem they presented it with was straightforward enough: why are some superbugs resistant to antibiotics?
