I am aware that the above article on neuromorphic computing that Gabriel Rubio, CEO of SecuRED (a small business “specialising in innovative security and privacy technology solutions including AI”) shared on LinkedIn, has been posted here a couple times of before, but check out the comment section.
Not surprisingly, there is a post by Nick Brown promoting Brainchip
- both he and
@chapman89 should really think about changing their profile pictures to something along the lines of

But now have a look at Robert Moore’s comment. While not referring to Brainchip specifically, his enthusiastic assessment of the disruptive nature of neuromorphic technology is yet another validation by someone with an intriguing professional background.

According to Wikipedia, Booz Allen Hamilton is “an American government and military contractor, specializing in intelligence... The company's stated core business is to provide consulting, analysis and engineering services to public and private sector organizations and nonprofits.”
However, it should also be noted that “Booz Allen has particularly come under scrutiny for its ties to the government of
Saudi Arabia and the support it provides to the Saudi armed forces. Alongside competitors
McKinsey & Company and
Boston Consulting Group, Booz Allen are seen as important factors in Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Salman’s drive to consolidate power in the Kingdom.
[89] On the military side, Booz Allen is employing dozens of retired American military personnel to train and advise the
Royal Saudi Navy and provide logistics for the
Saudi Army, but denies its expertise is used by Saudi Arabia in its
war against Yemen. Additionally, it also entered an agreement with the Saudi government that involves the protection and cyber-security of government ministries,
[90] with experts arguing that these defensive maneuvers could easily be used to target dissidents.”
This connection to Saudi-Arabia reminded me of the following slide in the moonbeam Emerging Technology Assessment presentation
@Rise from the ashes shared with us yesterday:

Intel has been open about collaborating with the Kingdom of Saudi-Arabia on the US $ 500 billion NEOM desert megacity project, which some view as the world’s first futuristic smart city and ecological prestige project and others as a repressive ruler’s megalomaniac fantasy and ecological disaster “being built on forcible evictions, state violence and death sentences” (

It is obviously an ethical question whether or not to do business with a government such as that of Saudi-Arabia. I wonder whether or not Brainchip will clearly position itself?
