Cracks me up, from 2.20 minutes..
Rob "BrainChip's been touting that technology for a couple of years now"
Don "A couple of years??"
Rob "Yes"
Don "How many years?"
Rob "So, about two.."

Brainchip themselves are happy to include the connection the Merc connection on the website... Have been for a long while. Its in black and white.
Only those grabbing at downramping straws deny it to cause problems.
Quote from BRN website:
"
NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTING
Neuro what? Neuromorphic computing is a form of information processing whose hardware runs so-called spiking neural networks. These artificial neural networks mimic natural neural networks, firing only when certain thresholds are reached. Mercedes says the system reduces energy consumption “by orders of magnitude.”
Mercedes engineers worked with California-based artificial-intelligence developer BrainChip to create systems based on the company’s Akida hardware and software. Among other things, the technology makes the “Hey, Mercedes” voice control system in the EQXX five to ten times more efficient than conventional voice control."

let's talk about the cabin of a vehicle, ... Mercedes... recognize the driver, recognize voice, recognize gestures, ...
We had confirmation of in-cabin key word spotting with EQXX with a suggestion that there may be more ...

- now Rob is talking about driver recognition, gesture recognition, and voice recognition (is that individual voices as opposed to general word spotting?) in the context of in-cabin monitoring and, by-the-way, this could be in, for example, Mercedes ... and still being developed, just as MB said the other day in the context of announcing a development partner (they have already announced Nvidia and Qualcomm) in the not-too-distant future.
Well the Akida silicon has been developed, but what else needs to be "developed" is the data models for speech, gestures, etc, and while there are some general purpose models available for CNN software, the specific in-cabin models are a horse of a different colour (remind me to tell you about Green Horse). And, if Akida is to be used, the models should be in SNN format. I don't now whether they can be developed in SNN directly (it is possible in theory), but it may be faster to develop or adapt CNN models and convert to SNN.

Around 2.10 of the interview Rob does mention Driver recognition, Gesture and voice. He then said its been around a couple of years which coincides with the timing of including an article on the Brainchip website (January 2022) concerning the Brainchip/Merc tie up.
It was regarded as pretty bi news at the time.
Is it possible Merc will use AKIDA via the chips being integrated in Qualcomm, NVIDIA etc products. Merc have a team evidently putting it all together.

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
I came across a company on LinkedIn called Fortinet after a like by Rob Telson. They are into cybersecurity. When I looked into them a little further I came across this article from 2020. It sounds like what Akida does but don’t think it could be due to the article being from 2020 and no revenue linked to them that I know of. Anyone heard of them before?
Fortinet introduces self-learning AI appliance for threat detection | Back End News
Cybersecurity solutions company Fortinet released its on-premise appliance that leverages self-learning Deep Neural Networks (DNN) to speed threat remediation and handle time-consuming, manual security analyst tasks called FortiAI. FortiAI’s Virtual Security Analyst embeds one of the industry’s...backendnews.net
Self-learning AI
To address the challenge of talent shortage in cybersecurity, Fortinet unveiled FortiAI Virtual Security Analyst to accelerate threat remediation. FortiAI handles many of the time consuming, manual tasks currently expected of security professionals, preserving their time for higher-value security functions. FortiAI’s self-learning capabilities continue to get smarter once deployed in an organization’s network.
FortiAI learns new malware features as it adapts to new attacks instantaneously and reduces false positives.
FortiAI with its self-learning AI model does not require internet connectivity to learn and mature, enabling organizations with closed environments or stringent security policies to stay ahead of threats.
I think Sean Hehir has been involved previously with HP, if I'm not mistaken.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...ercedes....
I wouldn’t read into his reaction, seemed more like an awkward moment!
What is interesting/ disappointing to hear is when the interviewer asks “is this technology being utilised today?” To which Rob responds “it’s still in the process of being adopted “ ……
Don’t think we will be seeing anything any time soon ….. hoping I’m wrong

Does Services Australia know you spend more time on TSE than looking for gainful employment?
Your contributions might be more well received among the deadbeat intellect prevalent on the crapper. They probably have whole threads dedicated to your material.

Yep, he said companies like Mercedes announce tech that can perform multiple functions at the same time, gesture, voice and the person.Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...ercedes....
He said BRN have been touting this tech for around 2 years.
A little later he said BRN can recognise others in the vehicle by voice and gesture recognition. Around 2.30. A passenger who takes the wheel eg labelled Junior and has restrictions on driving eg speed will be recognised by the vehicle vis voice and or gestures. The interviewer was almost floored by this and said " this is almost scary'.
This is really advanced shiete.
Its obvious Merc is on board.

Ooof LMAO. When you rattle off "Everyone" you basically became that guy who used "Bro" in their argument and sunk even further below their already trashed cred ROFL.

Don "Is this technology being utilised right now?"
Rob "It's still in the process of being adopted"
Was he referring specifically to the application he was describing?
You'ld assume he was referring to AKIDA technology in general (at least Don seemed to be).
But then why say that, when we know 100% that it's in the VVDN box, basically now? (although I guess, they are only available for pre-order and not actually working "in the field").
So, taking that into consideration, we know that nothing is actually "in the market yet" but that doesn't mean that there aren't products "ready" (process of being adopted) to go?
The VVDN box, being a prime example.
So looks like, there will definitely not be the start of any royalty revenue, in the coming quarterly.
There will be a small amount of engineering fees and hopefully a surprise lump or two of IP licence revenue through MegaChips (which is not required as an ASX announcement, as it's indirect).

The comment made buy Rob about still in the process is more in my opinion to not lead to the next question what products are out there then.
Why he dodge it is as per usual NDAs.
We know there are products VVDN edge box.
Or as stated they were talking about the invehicle monitoring possibly.
Regardless I do not this that Rob would say its adopted in a product cause it would lead to a hard question.
He did seem upbeat about 2024 and the overall success of CES.
Then there's the enigmatic "... partners rather than competitors ..." runestone.
Hi DB,
As I said above, I think that the "still being developed" thing is connected to MB's recently discussed statement that their AI processor is "still being developed" (paraphrase), and that they would soon announce another development partner, and we know Nvidia and Qualcomm have already been announced ...
