Hi Fullmoonfever,
to be honest, I’m extremely skeptical with regards to this “author” being a real person - happy to be proven wrong, though.
The whole article sounds suspiciously AI-generated to me and is hosted on a Polish website full of other articles on AI accompanied by lots of AI-generated images…
When you click on “Contact”, you get connected to ai2.news, a now defunct website that used to have similar articles. It reminded me of yet another website hosted in Poland called ts2.space (now aka ts2.tech), about which

Despite my gut feeling already telling me it was an AI-generated text, I still decided to give the “author” the benefit of the doubt and find out more about said Isaiah Gallagher himself, as I was curious why someone of his calibre, who must be sought-after by editors of renowned tech magazines all over the world, would choose to write articles for a virtually unknown website (on a global scale that is) with an
logo, registered in Poland.
With laudatory words like these…
Isaiah Gallagher is an esteemed author and technology analyst, renowned for his comprehensive writing on groundbreaking innovations in the technology industry. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and his Master's in Information Technology from the esteemed Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). After graduation, Isaiah joined the headquarters of Sun Microsystems, taking charge of their technology analysis division. During his tenure, he developed a fascination with detailing emerging technologies, which fueled his decision to start authoring insightful tech-related books. Ever since, Gallagher has been forwarding his insights, sharing a deep understanding of transformative technologies that impact business, society, and daily life. His practical field experiences and scholarly background provide a unique synthesis in his writing, making him an influential voice in the tech world.
… you would surely expect to find some information about resp. from this gentleman online? Well, you probably already guessed it: my search didn’t come up with anything relevant at all.
Was that whole paragraph on Isaiah Gallagher’s bio possibly nothing but an AI-generated hallucination?
Was it someone who loves both Händel and Oasis who created the moniker?
What I did happen to discover, though, is that there is a Polish city called Elbląg, which could explain the website’s name - clever pun!

Some people might argue as long as it’s good publicity for BrainChip, they don‘t care whether the author of that text is an LLM or “an esteemed author and technology analyst, renowned for his comprehensive writing on groundbreaking innovations in the technology industry (…) making him an influential voice in the tech world.”
To me, however, it makes a huge difference validation-wise.
