Sony is a dream but Samsung would be an even bigger dream:
I am NOT saying Samsung will unveil products that contain AKIDA but I can dream. CES2024 is only a matter of days away and we will find out for sure. But here are a few 'Hope's' I have for Samsung.
Also check out the Samsung link in this form and some wonderful work research done by many generous contributors to this forum.
Hope number 1
Brainchip named checked Samsung in March 2019 although did not confirm that Brainchip is working with Samsung

However, we do know that Brainchip had been in direct contact with Samsung before March 2020. This is taken from a Brainchip Market Update (source below):

LDN speaking
Lou “I was supposed to be in Shanghai and greater China for the month of February, Seoul, Korea, as well”
Lou: “
Smart home, rarely (Lou actually said ‘primarily’ on the recording) in this case in South Korea for us but Smart Home is a big deal for us. But Anil will touch on some of the aspects of what we can do with keyword spotting, what we can do with incremental learning. These are things that the Smart Home manufacturers, the global manufacturers, in Smart Home, as well as Smart City, should probably put those two together, are very excited about.”
Start the demo. “This is a
Samsung camera. We thank Samsung for forwarding this to us. It actually does send events directly so we don't need to convert from frames to events in this.”
Anil: “So, look at what it's doing here. We actually, t
ake a Samsung camera and we're doing hand gestures. Here, what we did, we took nine gestures, train the network from the actual spikes that were coming from...”

May 2020 AGM LDN included the following in his presentation

Hope number 4
Then there was this image in the May 2021 Presentation – there was a lot of discussion around the brand on the washing machine and fridge but the general consensus was that it looked like it said Samsung when the image was blown up

Samsung Electronics To Unveil New Vacuum Lineup That Redefines Home Cleaning With Enhanced AI at CES 2024

Compared to the image on Brainchip’s webpage. I know the image on Brainchip's page is a stock image but the style of vacuum is similar.
My thought: Brainchip are now being very careful about not placing a possible customer's product with their name or logo on their homepage aftyer the aforementioned picture of the fridge etc.
Hope number 6
What about a bespoke 4 door fridge they are talking about in their connected kitchen. Does it look like an updated version of the fridge that Brainchip mentioned in 2021?

Samsung also announced an interesting collaboration with Hyundai to connect the home devices with the car. (underline mine)

“The two companies will work together for the next-generation smart home to connect Samsung’s SmartThings with Hyundai and Kia’s connected cars, including EVs to develop the “Home-to-Car” and “Car-to-Home” services, as well as an integrated home energy management service.
The Home-to-Car and Car-to-Home services[1] connect the smart home with in-vehicle infotainment systems, allowing for remote control in both directions. Through the SmartThings platform, users will be able to perform a variety of actions pertaining to their cars while at home — starting them, controlling smart air conditioning, opening and closing windows, and checking their charging status. And from cars, the control of compatible home appliances such as TVs, air conditioners and EV chargers will also be possible.
“This collaboration will enable communication from Home-to-Car and integrated home energy management services that are optimized for future lifestyles,” said Chanwoo Park, Executive Vice President at Samsung Electronics. “By connecting the SmartThings platform with vehicles, we’ll be able to significantly enhance the customer experience in both the home and the car.”

The question I have is how are they going to secure the information from the home to car and vice versa without opening themselves up to security risks? Maybe this patent announced by Brainchip with help? Maybe @diogense can confirm if this patent can be used for such a purpose? I know when the patent was released there was a lot of discussion about Mercedes possibly using it to connect to the home. If that is the case an Mercedes do use it, which appliances and devises would they connect to at the home as they build smart cars not smart homes?

Brainchip have employed a sales person dedicated to their Korea customers. However, I can't remember any of Brainchip's publicly acknowledged customers being from Korea. @FactFinder and others will be able to confirm this.
Anyway, that is my ramblings for today. Once again I am NOT saying that Samsung is using AKIDA, I’m just really hoping they are.
