The laboratory created the first bioprinter neural network using living neurons.
The next level in bioprinting technology is on the door. That technology allows the making of artificial neural structures called "mini-brains". That term means the structure that is created on a glass plate. Those mini brains can used to test some kinds of medicines.
But the possible use of that technology is to recover damaged brains. The bioprinter neural networks also can make the next-generation microchip technology that combines biological and non-living components possible.
The non-living component could be the microchip with an AI-based kernel that decodes the signals that come from the living neural cells. And that thing allows living neurons to communicate with robots. The biological microchips causing discussions of the rights of robots that have biological microchips.
What is a more powerful computer than a networked quantum system? That system is the networked human brain. In some visions, interstellar spacecraft can host millions of cloned brains. The purpose of those brains is to act as the giant biological supercomputer. And if we think of robots that involve biological brains those kinds of systems can make them as intelligent as humans.
These were the topics in some old-fashioned sci-fi movies. The idea was that cyborgs would be robot bodies that living human brains control. The robot body will equipped with a system that can deliver nutrients to brain cells that control the robot body.
The artificially cloned neurons and bioprinting systems allow that system can create mini-brains. That can installed in drones. The bioprinters with nanotechnology can install bug brain cells into microchips that control the missiles or search equipment.
Above: The brain in a vat can interact with people using robots as external bodies.
The AI can create the Lego structure using the models. But when the AI must make something without models that system is in trouble. The AI cannot create anything without models. Humans can create models in brains, and then turn those models into real ones by using Legos.
There is the possibility that biotechnology can make it possible to create synthetic full-scale brains in the laboratory. And that artificial living brains can communicate with robots and other computing systems. That vision is called "brain in a vat".
If some laboratory can create full-scale human brains that live in the vat and interact with the environment using the robot bodies the system can interconnect those brains into giant biological supercomputers. If there are hundreds or even thousands of brains in vat they can form the system. Which data handling capacity is enormous.
