Story summary

FinalSpark, a Swiss start-up, is developing biocomputing technology using organoids derived from reprogrammed human skin cells to create energy-efficient processors.
Each organoid contains about 10,000 neurons, offering a potential path to replace traditional silicon chips.
Current experiments place organoids in simple robots and study brain conditions such as autism.
The researchers caution these organoids are not conscious and face challenges in data encoding and interpretation.
