Just because its the week before Christmas and of course
@Bravo has made a supreme sacrifice in recognition I thought I would inject two Science Fiction -
@TechGirl - uses for AKIDA technology now that the GPU argument has been crushed like an imaginary cockroach in a therapy session aimed at dealing with intrusive thoughts.
Blockchain and Quantum computing the last frontiers for Brainchip's AKIDA technology to conquer or are they already being navigated. In the Alan Kohler interview with the former CEO Mr. Dinardo this is what was asked and said back in 2018. Since then NASA using SNN technology for Quantum Annealing has surfaced and AKIDA is doing regression analysis for vibration monitoring of bridges as well as assisting NASA to eventually achieve the 20 kph target speed for Rover on Mars:
A random thought just popped into my head. Could you mine bitcoins more cost effectively and without using so much energy? Would your chip do that better?
Well, it’s a really good question – and I always hate saying it’s a good question because I know that’s why you asked it. The difference between computing, and even in a GPU or a CPU, because we work like the brain, we’re not doing math. Your brain doesn’t really do 1 plus 1 equals 2. Your brain has a spike math that recognises I learned this when I was a kid, 1 plus 1 equals 2. We don’t do computation. That’s why it’s extremely low power. What we could do in crypto or just blockchain generally, we will never be the solution to calculate the transaction, 1 plus 1 equals 2. What we can do and what the technology is exceptional at is recognising competing patterns.
So as this crypto environment matures or blockchain more generally, because it’s not just with respect to currency, blockchain is being applied to many other avenues as well, is we can recognise repeating patterns. We could do that for Blockchain and we could say, if there was a very high density of transactions with a very similar pattern being executed, we could do it for cyber security where we could recognise patterns for denial of service attacks, malware attacks.
More generally, harkening back to crypto, fintech or financial technology generally. High frequency trading patterns, people want to know what those patterns are so they can forecast what their future transaction should be or they want to intersect somebody else that’s trying to do exactly the same thing. So, the technology is not about compute, it’s about recognising repeating patterns.
Just before we get onto some other matters, another thought that occurs to me is, what if we could combine your technology and Peter’s ideas with quantum computing?
That could be huge. There’s always going to be kind of a side by side environment. Even if we look at today, some of our engagements because of this ability to do vision exceptionally well – we’re being approached by major automobile manufacturers around the world. Detroit, Germany… Again, we’re never going to do the compute, we’re going to recognise very quickly and very efficiently a pattern. So, we likely will sit side by side during the short to mid term, we’ll sit side by side with a CPU or a GPU, they’ll be crunching numbers and we’ll be functioning like a brain doing the thinking…
BrainChip Holdings is the only pure play artificial intelligence listed company in the world. They are basically a hardware AI business and make a chip that tries to emulate the way the brain works with neurons and synapses. Alan Kohler speaks to CEO Lou DiNardo to find out more. Find out more...

Ubiquitous will need an expanded definition everywhere just does not seem enough where Brainchip's AKIDA technology family is concerned.
Merry Christmas to all enjoy your time with family and considering the possibilities.
