The familiar fight between “mind as software” and “mind as biology” may be a false choice. This work proposes biological computationalism: the idea that brains compute, but not in the abstract, symbol ...

Graphics processing units (GPUs), the expensive computer chips made by companies like Nvidia, AMD, and Sima.ai, are no longer the only way to train and deploy artificial intelligence. Biological Black ...

The consciousness debate is often trapped between two extremes: either the brain is “just software” (computational ...

A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.

For decades, AI has run on silicon–a given that few have questioned or tried to challenge. However, one startup believes the future of computing might be grown in a dish and not manufactured in a lab.
