AI just got a reality check. Cortical Labs has officially launched the world’s first commercial biological computer, the CL1, and it’s set to shake up everything from medical science to robotics.

The system, known as CL1, was presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and is being explored for its potential applications in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.

Melbourne-based Cortical Labs launched the CL1 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, describing it as a “body in a box” that holds the potential to revolutionise AI and robotics.
