Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — A Melbourne-based company, Cortical Labs, has launched the world’s first commercial “biological computer” which powered by human brain cells. The technology said to be a breakthrough in the world of computing intelligence, offers more dynamic, sustainable and energy efficient compared to any AI currently exist.

Known as a Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI), The product named CL1, was introduce at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona on March 2, 2025. Cortical Labs describes CL1 as a “body in a box,” capable of revolutionizing artificial intelligence and robotics.

The biological computer utilizes lab-grown neurons, a brain cells engineered to grow on a silicon chip, allowing them to send and receive electrical impulses.

Designed for sustained operation, the initial version of CL1 features a support system with pumps, gas regulation, and temperature controls to keep the neurons alive for up to six months.

“A simple way to describe it is like a body in a box,” said Brett Kagan, Chief Scientific Officer at Cortical Labs, as reported by The Independent.

More Efficient Technology

The company claims that CL1 can learn and adapt more efficiently than conventional computers that rely solely on silicon chips. Additionally, it boasts low power consumption.

The early iteration of this biological computer integrates 800,000 human and mouse neurons into a silicon board. This system has demonstrated the ability to teach itself how to play the video game Pong.

“Our technology merges biological elements with traditional computing to create the ultimate learning machine. Unlike conventional AI, our neural system requires minimal energy and training data to master complex tasks,” Cortical Labs stated.

While the product considers a groundbreaking technology, the full extent of the system will be in the user’s hands. “The real impact and implications will emerge from researchers, academics, and innovators who build upon our technology,” the company added.

The first CL1 units will be available for shipment to customers in June, with each unit priced at approximately $35,000, or around Rp571 million.

As the field of biocomputing advances, experts believe that integrating biological components with traditional computing could pave the way for groundbreaking developments in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and robotics.
