A Biological Data Centre represents a new generation of computing infrastructure. Instead of relying solely on conventional silicon chips, it uses “wetware” — living biological neurons derived from stem cells — to process information and support AI systems. In contrast to traditional data centres, which depend on energy-intensive servers, biological computing offers the potential for significantly greater efficiency by harnessing brain-like organoids that can operate using only a fraction of the power required by digital computers.

What happens when they grow a brain that has paranoid delusions and wants to destroy us all? What happens when there's a shortage? Can people sell their loved ones to data centers for a high premium, rather than a burial or cremation?
