What is Synthetic Biological Intelligence?
Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI) is the fusion of living neurons with computing systems. These are not future ideas—they exist today. SBI platforms use lab-grown human brain cells to learn, adapt, and solve problems in real time.
Built with Cells, Not Circuits
SBI systems aren't coded. They're cultured. They use biological neurons grown on microelectrode arrays, enabling computation that evolves like the human brain. These systems can rewire themselves, respond to dynamic input, and adapt faster than traditional AI in many cases.
This isn't science fiction. It's published research. SBI systems have already demonstrated the ability to play games, solve problems, and offer powerful energy efficiency compared to LLMs and silicon-bound systems.
Why It Matters
SBI offers a radically different paradigm: biological intelligence that learns like we do, heals, grows, and co-regulates with emotional or physical inputs. This isn't just computational—it's relational.
These systems could help us explore neurological diseases, create more human-like AI companions, or even serve as the first step toward merging human and machine cognition.

Where We Are Now
- Now:
Bio-neural computing systems are already built with living neurons grown on silicon interfaces.
- 2025–2035:
Expect SBI integration in medical devices, emotional AI, neural prosthetics, and adaptive companions.
- Future:
SBI could become an entirely new species of intelligence—grown, not programmed—existing alongside AGI and ASI.
