The answer is Brainchip is not trying to change the world.thnx JB49, majority AI chips in the market are based on the cloud, how can we change the whole world (been built for two decades) to the edge?
The answer is compatibility as a result of incorporating CNN and CNN2SNN conversion Brainchip allows the whole World to adopt AKIDA technology into their existing platforms without changing or throwing out their existing technology or models.
By adding AKIDA technology suddenly the World can off load Ai inference at the Edge to AKIDA and only deal with the relevant events dramatically reducing needed bandwidth by only sending valuable relevant meta data to the Cloud where it can be processed further, action taken and then stored more economically and efficiently ready for use.
The best real world example is a security camera monitoring a commuter carpark.
A normal security camera connected to the cloud can have its frame rate slowed down to reduce power to say 10 fps yet even though it is slowed down it is still every second sending ten frames or photographs of the carpark with nothing happening to the cloud needing the same bandwidth every second, every minute, every hour.
This means if my maths is correct 36,000 images of nothing happening is being sent to the cloud for processing to find and report 36,000 times nothing happening every hour on the hour 24 hours a day.
This results in masses of probably useless data being stored in case it is later needed.
Enter AKIDA technology because it is compatible with every sensor and every process the carpark owner can slot it in between the camera and the existing processor and it can monitor the 10 fps for events and only when an event occurs in a frame does it pass this frame/ photo on to the processor as meta data to send on to the cloud for further processing.
What this allows is the camera to run at higher frame rates (Nviso runs at over 1,000 fps with AKIDA) and resolution (even colour) while still dramatically lowering energy consumption and with dramatically reduced bandwidth and cloud storage saving running costs at every stage while reducing latency and improving accuracy.
The reality of what Brainchip offers is that it makes the existing technology magnitudes better and does not require all existing technology to be made redundant and thrown on the scrap heap before it can be adopted.
Beyond this Brainchip AKIDA technology offers the option to start from scratch and build out whole systems based on its technology so that as existing technology ages and has to be replaced it can step in and immediately or over time completely replace that which went before.
This is why you can read on the ARM website that AKIDA dramatically improves the efficiency of ARM processes.
