What could possibly go
wrong?
It is obvious that the potential of such "programmable chips, fusing biological computing with artificial intelligence [AI]" is huge; therefore, there will be considerable funding available for projects and start-ups in that field. It is the unstoppable march of the bio-robots.
One argument always put forward regarding AI is that even advanced AI systems will never be able to develop emotions and self-awareness: they will remain machines that do what the software inside them tells them to do. (This would still, in theory, present the risk that some dangerous software would be developed for such AI systems by rogue actors, for instance in a country such as Russia or China, or in fact by the military...)
With the advent of "biological computing", it seems clear that one is dealing with a new type of machine, which is partly a living thing: it is not an animal (or human), but it is not an 'ordinary' machine either. It is a bit of both. Something in between a living thing and a computerized system. In due course, there is no reason why, in theory, such a creature of the third type would not develop a form of self-awareness and volition - with all the consequences this could have further down the road.
The ability of human beings to monitor and control effectively such advanced systems over time can only be in serious doubt.

These programmable chips, fusing biological computing with artificial intelligence, "in future may eventually surpass the performance of existing, purely silicon-based hardware," says project lead, Associate Professor Adeel Razi.
[...] The technology promises machines that can continue to learn new abilities without compromising old ones, that can adapt well to change, and that can map old knowledge onto new situations – while continually self-optimizing their use of computing power, memory and energy.
