Scientists are thinking about whether AI can use small lab-grown organs instead of computers to work better, by copying structures similar to brains. They call this Organoid Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is getting a lot of attention as a big technological change right now. But Organoid Intelligence might push AI even more.Lab Tissue Organoids are artificial...
