Brain Scientist On AI: You Aren’t Ready For What’s About To Happen | Dr. Alysson Muotri

Dr. Alysson Muotri is a world-leading geneticist and pioneering neuroscientist whose work pushes the boundaries of how we understand the human brain. His lab grows brain organoids—living “mini-brains” created from stem cells—to study how the human mind develops, ages, breaks down, and how it might one day be repaired.

In this episode, we get into why he’s trying to reconstruct the human brain in a lab, how brain organoids are transforming our ability to study and potentially reverse brain-based illnesses, and the emerging field of biocomputing and “organoid intelligence.”

We explore how these living neural systems could shape the next era of AI, what it would mean for AI to be powered by biological tissue, and how this convergence of biology and computation could reshape our future.
