What a fantastic use of AI and akida. There's so much potential.

I'm Spartacus!
Hi Folks. My Saturday morning musings......
It feels that what BrainChip has, in the current various iterations of Akida and the pipeline of what is to come in next generations, is now beginning to spill out from behind the NDA's, just due to the volume of critically relevant people who have been exposed to the possibilities of our tech.
That and the way AI is becoming ubiquitous within the mainstream lives of much of humanity, who are now connected to some degree by the link devices to supercomputers we all carry around and have become obsessed with.
I do not think of myself as a heavy user, yet my iPhone is constantly with me and within reach, when I go on my walks, to the dunny, whilst I sleep at night. It is now an ever present companion and can be a source of mild consternation ranging to perhaps outright anxiety whenever I become disconnected due to venturing to an area without sufficient coverage. I am becoming more and more reliant upon it with the skills of map reading, calligraphy and human interaction atrophying alongside the cultivation, preparation and preservation of the food I eat.
I assume the next stage will have "it" seeming to become more of a concierge or perhaps even "friend" relationship through the adoption of a far more personalised and integrated user interface along the lines of Siri or Alexa but with a much more "fleshed" out and curated "personality" who will come to replace all but the most outrageous of our fellow contemporaries.
Hard to know if this becomes utopia or dystopia over time, although either path seems to point to something of an amalgam between whatever of humanity which is not not able to be synthesised, along with, a rapidly evolving self directing technical intelligence.
What's all this got to do with BrainChip?
I think we are an enabling technology in this still nascent field of Neuromorphic computing allowing the integration of more and more of our physical world within the purview of a perhaps one day centralised and governing intelligence.
There are currently meetings and discussions occurring around the world about the potential dangers of the unrestricted development of AI but I am of the opinion that it's probably already too late. The momentum and the risk of not having our own version of this tech with which to counter a rival's has become too great to stop. Perhaps something akin to the race to develop the Atomic bomb during WW2.
I'm glad to be invested in BrainChip as a pioneer in our field for at least I have some confidence in the ethics and motivation of PVDM along with the BOD and Management that he has collected to manifest this in our world.
It's coming whether we are ready or not, whether we like it or not, but much prefer it championed and enabled by liberal democracy's rather than only by totalitarian regimes.
For those interested in a vision of the current state of play I recommend.....

This could be a whole new market for us. I'm allowed to dream.
They talk about how a neural network could be part of the fabric.
Sounds familiar to our very own Akida(s) neural fabric(s).

The Future of AI: Neuromorphic Computing, Edge AI, and Cloud AI
We're witnessing an incredible technological evolution with the convergence of Neuromorphic Computing, Edge AI, and Cloud AI.
Neuromorphic Computing, modeled after the human brain, offers improved efficiency, speed, and adaptability in processing, showing immense promise in AI and beyond.
Edge AI, essential in our world of IoT, brings computation and data storage closer to where it's needed, offering faster data processing and real-time decision-making. This technology is a game changer across sectors, from healthcare to manufacturing.
On the other hand, Cloud AI is democratizing access to AI, offering businesses of all sizes on-demand, scalable access to AI services, computational power, and storage.
These technologies can lead to more intelligent, responsive, and efficient systems when integrated.
Imagine autonomous vehicles with neuromorphic processors for efficient processing, edge AI for real-time local data decision-making, and cloud AI for overarching analytics and larger-scale decisions.
While this convergence brings challenges such as data privacy and the need for new regulatory frameworks, the opportunities are immense, with potential applications across smart cities, precision medicine, advanced manufacturing, and more.
The future of AI is here, and it's transformative!

Reimagining optics for smartphone cameras and other devices

- Reimagining optics for smartphone cameras and other devices
UW ECE and Physics Associate Professor Arka Majumdar and UW ECE postdoctoral scholar Johannes Fröch are part of an international research team helping to make high-quality, color cameras smaller and lighter for mobile platforms, such as next-generation smartphones, drones, and point-of-care medical devices. The team recently developed a miniature camera that uses an innovative hybrid optical system over 100 times smaller than its commercial counterpart. Shown above: a close-up view of the raised camera “bump” on the back of a typical smartphone today. Majumdar and Fröch’s research advance could help to reduce the size of this camera bump or eliminate it entirely, containing smartphone cameras completely within the phone frame and significantly reducing manufacturing costs.

Our smartphone cameras have become a staple of modern life. Each day, millions of photos and videos are captured with smartphones as people snap pictures and record videos of loved ones and memorable moments, such as playing with a favorite pet, appreciating a dramatic city skyline, or enjoying a beautiful sunset. Meanwhile, other mobile devices that incorporate small cameras, such as aerial drones, continue to grow in popularity as people explore looking at the world around us in new and exciting ways.
Because demand for mobile devices is high, and smaller is often considered to be better, there is an ongoing technological race to make the cameras contained within smartphones, drones, and other mobile platforms smaller and lighter than they already are. But the engineering challenges involved in doing this, whether using traditional refractive camera lenses or more advanced technology, grow greater as cameras continue to shrink in size.
UW ECE and Physics Associate Professor Arka Majumdar and UW ECE postdoctoral scholar Johannes Fröch are part of an international research team taking on these challenges and helping to make cameras smaller and lighter for mobile platforms, such as next-generation smartphones, drones and point-of-care medical devices. As described in their recent paper in Science Advances, the team has developed a miniature camera capable of capturing full-color, high quality images, using an innovative hybrid optical system that is over 100 times smaller than its commercial counterpart.
This new camera’s optical system is considered to be a hybrid, because it combines a traditional refractive lens (similar to the kind of lens found in a pair of glasses) with advanced meta-optics — flat, planar surfaces consisting of microscopic structures known as “nanopillars,” which are used to manipulate light and provide a degree of control at a sub-wavelength scale not possible with refractive lenses. This combination helps to resolve chromatic and geometric imperfections in photos and video, which have long been a problem for researchers using meta-optics alone. The camera’s hybrid system also includes an artificial neural network, which uses its computing power to fill-in image gaps that the optical side of the system may not be able to capture. This three-part hybrid framework is allowing researchers such as Majumdar and Fröch to completely reimagine what an optical system could be.
“We are really thinking about optics as more of an information processing device, rather than as an image-forming device,” Majumdar said. “We want to capture enough information from the scene to create an image, rather than try to collect all of it. If we capture enough information, then the computation backend can form an accurate image. That way, we can reduce the size of our device.”
Majumdar and Fröch collaborated on this project with researchers from Tampere University in Tampere, Finland, and the Science and Technology Facilities Council in Harwell, United Kingdom. Fabrication of the meta-optics contained within the camera took place at the Washington Nanofabrication Laboratory on the UW campus.

Hi LL, I was really hoping that we were also working close with Dell from 2 years ago, now that they have announced with NVIDIA my hopes have bottomed out. We might be working with NVIDIA, only time will tell and waiting patiently for revenue from who ever our partners will be and we may never know who they will ever be, as long as we watch the all mighty revenue stream. I recall a question if not mistaken that our MG or Rob T was asked if NVIDIA was a competitor and replied that I see NVIDIA as an future partner to those similar words, does anyone remember this or is it dotted in my head.Dell and NVIDIA in Generative AI Initiative

I interpret that as hundreds of companies that have bought the pcie boards and development kits. The question is how many of the purchasers of these items are actually actually using or doing something with the hardware?
