No, the post is not suspicious and no hackers are to blame - keep calm and have a Cupcake… (Oh wait, they don’t sell them, yet!)
It is a direct quote, taken from the CES 2024 BrainChip podcast with Sanyogita Shamsunder, Chief Product Officer at Meeami Technologies.
At 5:26 min, Nandan Nayampally asks her: “So having seen what BrainChip has done and what Meeami has seen in the context, how do you see this all fitting in?” She then replies, and at 6:42 min says “Something like a BrainChip is almost a requirement in terms of edge type of applications.”
True, Sanyogita Shamsunder should have correctly said “Something like an Akida chip….” oder “Something like BrainChip’s technology…”, but given the context of our company hosting the podcast as well as the question our (then) CMO had asked her, she was definitely not referring to a brain chip à la Musk’s Neuralink… I reckon it was just a slip of the tongue that happens in interviews, even though it could be argued that she used “brain chip” loosely to mean “neuromorphic chip”.
Note that by saying “Something like a BrainChip…”, she didn’t limit the available options to Akida exclusively. Similar to Edge Impulse Chief Revenue Officer Spencer Huang in another CES 2024 podcast, who didn’t tell Nandan Nayampally that one day every device would have Akida in it (as was previously claimed by FF), but “your technology or neuromorphic-type technology”.
Personally, I wouldn’t have picked that quote by Sanyogita Shamsunder to promote BrainChip, as it does sound awkward, especially taken out of context.
. The addressee then reused the winking face emoji alongside “You might want to have a look at this” when sharing the post himself with several people on his network, most of whom belong to the Space Generation Advisory Council (see below), of which he himself is also a representative.
