The issue that should always be to the forefront when considering whether the Ai Bosch speaks about is AKIDA is that Bosch has its own Artificial Intelligence neuromorphic computing research facility and has been working on this for a number of years and it had a very large budget and a significant workforce.Was tryiing to drill down a bit more on the "self-learning" capabilities of Bosch's BHI260AP sensor as it states "When engaged, this system can be used to learn a new activity that it has never seen before" and private data is being "processed at the sensor instead of the main controller".
Also, Qeexo's AutoML can be deployed on Bosch's BHI260AP sensor.
BOSCH BHI260AP Self-Learning AI Sensor
06-01-2021 | By Robin Mitchell
Recently, BOSCH announced its latest activity sensor, the BHI260AP, but this sensor is more intelligent than most. What features does the BHI260AP integrate, what can its AI core do, and how does this sensor demonstrate the growing importance of AI?
How AI is Evolving
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, has come leap and bounds from the initial development of neural nets to software services that can learn as they operate. Unlike traditional software programs, AI has the advantage that they can recognise patterns more easily than a combination of IF statements and can be retrained to improve their performance over time.
The first AI was only ever found on powerful computer systems due to the large processing and memory requirements. Still, improvements in technology now see AI systems readily working on desktop PCs, smartphones, and even IoT devices. However, if the functions of AI can be shifted away from processors and onto dedicated hardware, then the main processor can free up its resources, thereby improving the device's capabilities in question.
This need for a “co-processor” is now seeing the development of neural network accelerators that utilise technology similar to that found on GPUs. Such hardware not only removes the AI functions away from the main processor, but are specifically designed to execute neural networks, and thus can do so more efficiently.
BOSCH Releases the BHI260AP
Recently, BOSCH announced the release of their latest activity sensor, the BHI260AP, that integrates many features needed for activities (i.e. sports), including a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, 32-bit ARM EM4 programmable microcontroller, and a 4-channel micro DMA controller. The BHI260AP integrates a range of software features that can be useful for offloading tasks from the main controller.
For example, the BHI260AP can be used for pedestrian dead reckoning whereby the low-powered sensor can determine where a user has walked in-between GPS cycling. Since GPS is a power-intensive operation, the use of power cycling reduces overall power consumption. The BHI260AP can also be programmed to perform relative and absolute orientation using the internal IMU, which can be useful for positioning devices.
The BHI260AP also integrates a range of pre-programmed activities which it can recognise, including jogging, jumping, and swimming. When used on a wristband, the BHI260AP can determine the number of steps, length of a stroke, or the wearer's swimming style.
BHI260AP AI Learning
However, by far the most impressive feature of the BHI260AP is its built-in AI self-learning mechanism. When engaged, this system can be used to learn a new activity that it has never seen before. A demonstration by BOSCH shows a user engaging the learning feature via a smartphone app and performs a few exercises (skiing in this case). Then the sensor can determine the number of strokes during skiing.
The build-in AI mechanism can detect how an activity works if that activity involves a repetitive cyclic motion. This clearly demonstrates how sensors themselves are now becoming small data processors in their own right. Furthermore, this also demonstrates how potentially private data (position, acceleration etc.) is being processed at the sensor instead of the main controller. While the hose CPU can obtain raw sensor data, it is worth noting that future generations of sensors may hide this information, and provide a sanitised value instead.
"The self-learning AI sensor will change how users interact with their fitness devices from a mere one-way approach to an interactive way of training. This new sensor combines Bosch Sensortec’s long-term experience in smart motion sensors with its strong competence in innovative software development."

Back in August I sent an email to Stefan Schuster from Mercedes asking about new EQS Suv and brainchips "Akida".. got a reply with a pdf. A little disheartened back then with reply, but he can't say "yes, we are using akida now" Finally got around to read pdf (71 pages) and found pages 41-44 interesting. So the big question. "Are they using Akida in current cars" ???
Dear Chris
Thank you for your interest on our cars.
The mentioned Akida brainchip is part of the whole UX/UI System in the Vision EQXX and gives a glimpse on future technologies.
The MBUX with the big heads up display and the interior assist in our new EQ cars are also intelligent and customer centered.
I hope that you will have soon have the opportunity to drive one.
Please find attached our EQS press kit for further information.
All the best
Stefan

New Fool article showing their form and complete ignorance of facts and available information.
https://www.fool.com.au/2022/10/19/...e-price-continue-its-growth-run-this-quarter/
First part of the article is reasonable, but last two paragraphs, outlining a possible difficulty of raising additional cash in the future, "if needed"
completely ignores our current arrangement with LDA capital..
For those shorting BrainChip, the narrative might be based on the company’s unprofitable nature. Despite holding a stack of cash, at the current rate, BrainChip only has roughly one year and five months’ worth of runway left until it would need to either take on debt or raise capital.
If we’re still in a cold market at that time, the company might find it difficult to raise capital. At the same time, debt costs could be much higher due to increased interest rates
Shoddy "journalism"? at its best..

I have extracted pages 43 & 44.
As an observation I would put up front that the expression “this is where the magic happens” has been around for a very long time. Using the word “magic” is quite common so it’s use is not extraordinary or out of place.
What peaked my interest is that Peter van der Made to my knowledge only started to use the word “magic” in connection with AKIDA in the last year or so. Peter van der Made is a scientific thinker and one of the issues around neuromorphic spiking computing has been explainability.
It is just not scientific or in keeping with this technology for Peter van der Made to describe what happens with AKIDA as magic but out of his mouth came this descriptor. Very strange I thought no matter how apt it might be.
So on reading these two pages up pops the word “magic” to describe what the Ai is doing.
Coincidence????

PS: I don’t think NASA or DARPA would be lined up to buy AKIDA if when they asked how does it work Peter van der Made replied “by magic.”.
“Zero-layer design: the most important thing is now only one click away
The new EQS: MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience)
MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) has radically simplified the operation of a Mercedes-Benz. Introduced in 2018 in the current A-Class, more than 1.8 million Mercedes-Benz passenger cars are now on the road with it, and the Vans division is also relying on MBUX. A few months ago the second generation of this learn-capable system made its debut in the new S-Class. The new EQS is already the next big step. With learn-capable software, the control and display concept completely adapts to its user and makes personalised suggestions for numerous infotainment, comfort and vehicle functions. With the so-called zero-layer design, the user does not have to scroll through submenus or give voice commands. The key applications are always offered on the top level in the field of vision, depending on the situation and context. This means that numerous operating steps are taken care of for the EQS driver. Mercedes-Benz has integrated numerous music streaming providers holistically into the MBUX Infotainment system with the "Online Music" service.
Infotainment systems offer numerous and extensive functions. Several operating steps are often required to control them. In order to reduce these interactive steps even further, with the aid of artificial intelligence Mercedes-Benz has developed a user interface with context-sensitive awareness.
The MBUX system proactively displays the right functions at the right time for the user, supported by artificial intelligence. The context-sensitive awareness is constantly optimised, both by changes in the surroundings and by user behaviour. The so-called zero layer offers the user dynamic, aggregated content from the entire MBUX system, and thus the associated services, on the uppermost level of the MBUX information architecture.
Mercedes-Benz has investigated the usage behaviour of the first MBUX generation. Most of the use cases fall in the Navigation, Radio/Media and Telephony categories. The navigation application with its full range of functions is therefore always in the centre of the visual display unit.
Over 20 other functions - from ENERGIZING COMFORT to birthday reminders and suggestions for the to-do list - are automatically offered with the help of artificial intelligence when they are relevant to the customer. The developers have internally christened these suggestion modules, which are displayed on the so-called zero-layer interface, "Magic Modules".
Here are five representative use cases. The user can accept or reject the respective suggestion with just one click:
When approaching a charging station that is enabled for Plug & Charge, the Magic Module 'Charging' automatically appears. The driver can then start charging immediately.
If someone always calls one particular friend on the way home on Tuesday evenings, in future they will always receive a suggestion regarding this particular call on this day of the week and at this time. A business card appears with their contact information and – if this is stored – their photo. All the suggestions from MBUX are coupled with the profile of the user. So if someone else drives the EQS on a Tuesday evening, this recommendation is not made – or there is another one, depending on the preferences of the other user in each case.
If the EQS driver regularly uses the massage function according to the hot-stone principle, the system automatically suggests the comfort function to them in wintry temperatures.
If the user regularly switches on the heating of the steering wheel in addition to the seat heating, for example, this is suggested to them as soon as they activate the seat heating
The EQS's chassis can be raised in order to offer more ground clearance. A useful function for steep driveways or raised points on the ground for traffic calming ("sleeping policemen"). MBUX remembers the GPS position at which the user has made use of the "Vehicle Lift-Up" function. If the vehicle approaches this GPS position again, MBUX suggests raising of the EQS.
MBUX: a milestone as the interface between driver, passengers and vehicle
The EQS features the current MBUX generation, which celebrated its premiere in the new S-Class only a few months ago. As standard, the EQS 450+ is equipped with a 12.3-inch driver display and a 12.8-inch central display in portrait orientation. The impressive MBUX Hyperscreen (see next chapter for details) is available as an option, and is standard in the EQS 580 4MATIC. There, the front passenger also has his or her own screen.
Face recognition with cameras in the driver display is used for a wide range of assistance and comfort functions. These include biometric authentication, ATTENTION ASSIST fatigue warning and adjusting the exterior mirrors to the pre-set position. Also on board as standard: a fingerprint scanner for driver authentication.
Hey Mercedes: the voice assistant can now do even more
Compared with the previous MBUX generation, the "Hey Mercedes" voice assistant is even more capable of dialogue and learning by activating online services in the Mercedes me App. Moreover, certain actions can be performed even without the activation keyword "Hey Mercedes". These include taking a telephone call. "Hey Mercedes" now also explains vehicle functions, and can help for example when asked how to connect a smartphone by Bluetooth or where the first-aid kit can be found. Compatible home technology and household devices can also be networked with the vehicle thanks to the smart home function and controlled from the vehicle by voice. "Hey Mercedes" is now also able to recognise vehicle occupants by their voices. Once the individual characteristics of the voice have been learned, this can be used to access personal data and functions by activating a profile.
The voice assistant in the EQS can also be operated from the rear. In general, rear passengers experience the same comprehensive infotainment and comfort offerings as the driver and front passenger. They have up to three touchscreen displays and a wide range of intuitive operating options.
MBUX High-End Rear Seat Entertainment Plus: comfort like in the front row
Screen content can be quickly and easily shared with other passengers. Selection and amendment of navigation destinations is possible from the rear seats. The MBUX High-End Rear Seat Entertainment Plus comprises two 11.6-inch displays with touch controls on the backrests of the driver and front passenger seats. The MBUX rear tablet is also optionally available. As a fully fledged tablet, this can also be used outside the vehicle and (Android) apps can be installed. With this convenient remote control, all rear seat entertainment functions can be comfortably controlled from any seating position.
Using cameras in the overhead control panel and learning algorithms, the MBUX Interior Assistant recognises and anticipates the wishes and intentions of the occupants. It interprets head direction, hand movements and body language and reacts with appropriate vehicle functions. As well as enhancing operating convenience, the MBUX Interior Assistant improves safety. If it is switched on, the vehicle exit warning of Blind Spot Assist is already issued when a hand approaches the door handle. It can also detect a child seat on the front passenger seat and signal on the central display if the vehicle seat belt is not buckled. Also available in the EQS is the MBUX Interior Assistant Rear.
Online music: music streaming with millions of songs to choose from
Mercedes-Benz has integrated many music streaming providers completely into the MBUX infotainment system with the "Online Music" service. MBUX enables access to the personal user profile at the linked music providers. This allows customers to seamlessly access their favourite songs and playlists and discover millions of songs as well as curated playlists. Operation is intuitive using the MBUX voice assistant via "Hey Mercedes" and via touch controls on the steering wheel or central display.”

We can all agree to disagree. Having our own thoughts is part of what makes us and I think it's healthy to have opposing views.
Unfortunately, until they have stated that it is being utilised in the current crop of new cars, I don't believe they are using AKIDA...yet. They did say from 2024 so I have no reason to just imagine something else. Yes, there is nothing to stop them from changing their minds but cars being released now have been in engineering for years. It takes time, especially in the automotive industry, for "innovations" in concept cars to trickle down to the production line.

Nothing wrong with faith but the elephant in this ASX room is that the upward momentum here at BRN has coincided precisely with the recovery in the USA.
I hate it but the reality is the vast majority here get a cold every time the USA sneezes.
