Damn about time Perth Akidaholics had another meeting to counsel each other. I couldn’t help myself but breach my own rule about not buying any more. At these prices it worse than going past, well actually not going past, the 50% off magnum ice creams at Cole’s and not stocking up. Damn shorters but I will thank you one day in the future.

I confess: I am a BrainChip addict too and keep buying at this price. And immediately after I keep telling myself that I now have more than enough 🤭

Is it a coincidence that, just when 8M shorts ae taken out, there is another unfavorable article from MF?

With MF, it's usual that many-a-mickle-makes-a-muckle.

However this is a more temperate, though still negative, review of BRN.

You will probably be disappointed by the absence of coffee shop comparisons.

However, I think this passage reflects poorly on the accounting principles used for tech company assets.

Revenues were down an eye-watering 95% year over year, which took many by surprise. The company produced a net loss of around $29 million on these sales, with reasonably flat growth in accounts receivable. During the year, it also released its second generation Akida technology.

The bulk of the $29M "loss" was R&D investment in producing the second generation Akida., yet there is no acknowledgement of the intrinsic value of Akida 2 IP. It's not like we spent all this money and have nothing to show for it.

In JORC terms, Akida 2 IP is a proven resource, as is Akida 1 IP. You only need to look at the EAP comments on the Akida Generations page: https://brainchip.com/akida-generations/

At present, Akida IP is an off-the-books asset. As far as most investors are concerned, they cannot see it.

It's better than money in the bank, because of its earning potential ... and it is also the Magic Pudding - no matter how much you use, there's always more where that came from.

  • Market monopoly: By controlling the market, the dominant player stifles competition and prevents innovation. More energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions than existing offerings are needed.
Take note Jensen.....

I wrote you an internal message via Linkedin in 2019...do you remember ? I'm sure you don't !

The bridge across the chasm is almost complete, the valley of death far below is now a thing of the past, a new era is dawning,
where Akida will shine majestically in the glory of the sun, a trailing breeze will continue to strengthen behind Akida's back making
our journey to the forbidden lands that much more glorious.

Feeling proud to own Brainchip shares isn't about the current share price it's about sharing the experience with some wonderful individuals
who have never given up when things got tough, an announcement will come, and you won't be expecting it.

No matter what you believe, Peter's et al technology isn't going away, it's only becoming stronger by the month, I personally believe that
the dominos are all going to fall in our favour very soon.

My views only....watch this space...Tech 😊

The transformational era of AI in healthcare: Multimodal AI and Neuromorphic AI​

The transformational era of AI in healthcare: Multimodal AI and Neuromorphic AI

By Express Computer on June 20, 2024
By Anup S S, Practice Head, Artificial Intelligence, Tata Elxsi
Artificial Intelligence is undergoing steady research and development with its influence being felt across industries, specifically in the healthcare sector. From optimising drug combinations to diagnostic assistance and toxicity studies, AI is set to redefine every facet of healthcare. The healthcare sector is also acknowledging the critical need for an interdisciplinary approach that integrates engineering with medical science. This paradigm shift signals an era in which AI’s extensive capabilities will revolutionise diagnostics, patient treatment protocols, drug development and delivery, and prescription practices in the next decade.
Impact of digital and connected technologies in healthcare
In the constantly evolving healthcare landscape, the fusion of Multimodal AI and Neuromorphic Technology represents a pivotal moment. Firstly, Multimodal AI refers to the generative capabilities of AI like processing information from multiple modalities, including images, videos, and text. In healthcare, these modalities often include both visual and clinical data. Visual data may include medical images from scans, while clinical data encompasses patient records, parameters, and test reports. Multimodal AI integrates these diverse data types to provide a comprehensive understanding, draw meaningful insights and give suggestions based on data and image analytics.
Neuromorphic Technology, on the other hand, comes from the combination of “neuro” (related to the nervous system) and “morphic” (related to form or structure). It refers to a method of computer engineering in which computational elements are modelled after systems in the human brain and nervous system. These are AI-powered by brain-like computing architectures and can process larger amounts of data with less computing power, memory, and electric power consumption. For one, Neuromorphic Technology utilises Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) to mimic the parallel processing, event-driven nature, and adaptability observed in biological brains.
The fusion of Multimodal AI and Neuromorphic Technology transitions from reactive medicine to a proactive and preventive healthcare paradigm. This synergy goes beyond the collaboration of cutting-edge technologies; it opens the door to a future where wellness is the primary focus. These technologies hold promise to transform healthcare by enhancing diagnostics, enabling personalised medicine, predicting long-term prognosis, and contributing to innovations in therapeutic interventions. For example, Multimodal AI can help in accurate and personalised management of diseases based on data from different sources including lab reports, imaging studies, clinical history and so on. Neuromorphic, on the other hand, can make the medical devices extremely portable with low-energy consumption. This can eventually lead to implantable smart devices that can monitor vital functions on a continuous basis with minimal discomfort to the user.
How connected technologies help to prevent diseases, lower costs & manage chronic conditions
Multimodal and Neuromorphic AI are further enhanced by connected technologies in healthcare. For instance, connected devices help provide more personalised and prognostic insights based on individual variations. Combining visual and clinical data along with machine learning operations to correlate with prior case records further helps prevent diseases and paves the way for a seamless deployment, continuous monitoring, and collaborative development across various stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem.
What’s more, these technologies also help in lowering healthcare costs. Even with limited resources, a first-level AI-based screening in small facilities can play a pivotal role in early detection of many diseases. AI-based technologies also provide unbiased, objective, and repeatable analysis without any additional costs involved.
Further, connected healthcare with multimodal AI helps patients manage and monitor chronic conditions like Diabetes/HT/Cardiac Diseases with continuous monitoring and personalised medications. The adaptability of multimodal AI to changing data patterns ensures that prognostic models can dynamically adjust based on evolving patient conditions and improve prognosis predictions. It also helps in the discovery of new insights, contributing to medical advancements and innovations. For instance, personalised prognostic models include both visual and clinical data. These models account for individual variations and correlate with prior case records and provide more accurate predictions of disease outcomes.
Additionally, Multimodal AI and Neuromorphic AI technologies also play a vital role in the management of emergency interventions. In such cases, adaptive intelligence for dynamic adjustments enhances the precision of diagnostic processes. This event-driven processing aligns with the dynamic nature of healthcare data allowing for more accurate and timely diagnoses.
Responsible AI: Ethics and regulations in healthcare technology
In the realm of AI, addressing bias stands as a pivotal ethical imperative, particularly in fields like medical analysis where the demand for precise and unbiased inference is ethically, legally, and morally paramount. This requires rigorous testing using diverse, unbiased anonymised datasets, continual monitoring to mitigate biases, and a steadfast dedication to achieving fair outcomes across diverse patient populations.
The foundation of responsible AI in healthcare is laid upon a robust ethical framework that guides the entire lifecycle of Neuromorphic and Multimodal AI systems. This means ensuring transparency, fairness, and accountability at every stage of AI implementation by stakeholders of the industry. It is imperative to define strong ethical boundaries, implement robust audits, and establish legal frameworks to prevent data manipulation and ensure the highest standards of integrity.
As thought leaders in the healthcare industry, it is our commitment to responsibly integrate these technologies for a future where healthcare is not only reactive, but anticipatory, personalised, and universally accessible.

Tech Translated: Neuromorphic computing​

s+b a PwC publication

What is neuromorphic computing? Neuromorphic computer systems aim to mimic brain functions, with the ultimate goal of matching—or even surpassing—the capabilities of the human mind. This ranges from using software to model and process information in the way that living organisms do, through trying to match the brain’s (as yet) unbeaten combination of low power and high performance with the use of radical new hardware architectures, including novel components such as memristors (transistors that behave like neurons).

What business problems can it address?​


“With the enormous potential of AI becoming more obvious by the day, one of the major concerns for the field is that flexible intelligence as we understand it actually maps onto binary computing very poorly, and is inefficient as a result,” explains Dina Brozzetti, a managing director in PwC US’s products and technology practice. “If AI could truly learn and evolve its understanding of the world without prior programming, just like us, but at the same low energy cost—a human brain uses only around the same energy as a 20-watt light bulb, to do calculations a supercomputer would struggle to perform—then it could be the most transformative watershed in computing since the switch from vacuum tubes to transistors.”
Beyond immediate applications for AI and machine learning specifically, neuromorphic computing has implications for all human–machine intellectual collaboration—particularly data analysis and research and development—as well as internet of things, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, human augmentation, sensory processing, industrial management and more. This wide-ranging potential is why in 2023 PwC US listed neuromorphic computing as one of the Essential Eight emerging technologies.

How does it create value?​


Today’s computers are limited by their internal configuration: a transistor is only connected on either side of its gate. But a neuron is connected to thousands of other neurons simultaneously. Additionally, rather than the binary on–off approach of today’s digital systems, neurons respond to both the quantity and duration of incoming signals, giving vastly more capacity to process information despite far lower energy needs. “This will both massively reduce IT overhead and give us an important tool for addressing climate change through reduction of energy use,” says Scott Likens, Global AI and Innovation Technology Leader, PwC United States.
There are hurdles: neuroscientists are still struggling to understand and model even simple animal brains, and memristors are more theory than reality. However, applying neuromorphic principles in both software and hardware has still led to impressive advancements, such as UC Santa Cruz’s SpikeGPT, a neural network that uses 22 times less energy than comparable systems. Neuromorphic systems can also self-improve through evolution, just like living creatures do, with potential for dramatic positive feedback loops in many fields of R&D.
“If a scalable breakthrough can be made, neuromorphic processors will lead to a dizzying number of new applications that we can only begin to speculate about, and at the same time truly integrate AI into our lives,” says Likens. “Something the size of your phone will be able to run tasks that currently require a supercomputer and enable new forms of AI that could see today’s generative AI models seem positively slow and limited in comparison.”

Who should be paying attention?​


Anyone whose work involves information processing in which neurons still beat silicon could ultimately be impacted if neuromorphic computing takes off. Innovation-focused teams—in technology in general and medical technology in particular—as well as transportation and logistics, engineering and construction, automotive, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals and life sciences should all keep on top of developments in case of a breakthrough. The ubiquity of digital technology means leaders such as CTOs, CISOs, and COOs across industries should be aware of the potential of neuromorphic computing to radically alter computing’s capabilities.

How can businesses prepare?​


“The field is still largely confined to academic/corporate R&D labs,” says Brozzetti, “so first, task a team with upskilling their knowledge, investigating possible applications in your industry, and deciding whether it makes sense to invest in either researching directly internally or engaging with external partners. Connect with researchers to help strengthen these efforts and find ways to collaborate to realize the potential benefits early.” At that point, it may be possible to identify possible use cases—for example, integration into an existing embedded IT product—and inclusion in your long-term product development road map.

Incidentally, last year PwC estimated AI could impact global GDP by 15 trillion!
