- Communitivity 4y agoThe first computer to think about itself will also probably not be a 100% non-organic computer, but either a 100% Wetware computer, or more likely a hybrid. A wetware computer is a computer made with organic parts. There are efforts underway to create organic computer components, and they've made slow but non-zero progress. Two companies working in this area are Cortical Labs [1], and Koniku [2]. I am associated with neither. Two past efforts I've seen are a design for a computer using a fungal network [3], and organic neural networks in fabrics [4]. A lot of work on chaotic computer, such as organic computers, was pioneered by William Ditto, at Georgia Institute of Technology [5].
