Another small snippet from the......
Final Report
National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence.

Thanks to Rocket for putting this up here. :)

As far as the potential use cases for Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems go, I found the passages dealing with the necessity of keeping humans in the loop, especially regarding the authorisation and use of nuclear weapons, particularly comforting. Apparently there was a period when Russia had a Dead mans hand control as part of their retaliatory setup a.k.a.

Dr. Strangelove or How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb....










In a similar tack to PVDM's warning about the expected exponential growth in data that will be a byproduct of the Internet Of Things, that must be both transmitted and dealt with/interpreted by data centres, the Intelligence Community is already drowning in data which needs to be sorted into actionable packets....

"Starting immediately, the IC should prioritize automating each stage of the intelligence cycle to the greatest extent possible and processing all available data and information through AI-enabled analytic systems before human analyst review. Products should also be disseminated at machine speed–which means they must be in machine-readable formats–and systems across the IC must be able to ingest and use them without manual intervention. Optimizing AI-enabled systems in this way will require an entirely different approach to the creation and review of finished intelligence products. The IC should require that all intelligence products include both a human-readable version and, just as important, an automated machine-readable version that can be ingested into other analytic systems throughout the IC. All future intelligence systems should be optimized for AI-oriented data collection and processing." page 110 see table on page 112 which I could not reproduce here.

This next paragraph (
beyond its mention of AKIDA1000 like smart sensors) is talking about what I guess will be within the realm of future iterations of our chip ie AKIDA2000/3000 etc..........


"In military scenarios—against technologically advanced adversaries, rogue states, or terrorist organizations—AI-enabled intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms and AI- enabled indication and warning (I&W) systems will be critical for the kind of advanced warfighting capabilities discussed in Chapter 3 of this report. Through automation, AI-enabled systems will optimize tasking and collection for platforms, sensors, and assets in near-real time in response to dynamic intelligence requirements or changes in the environment. At the tactical edge, “smart” sensors will be capable of pre-processing raw intelligence and prioritizing the data to transmit and store, which will be especially helpful in degraded or low-bandwidth environments. Once collected, intelligent processing systems can triage the information, identify trends and patterns, summarize key implications, and prepare the highest-priority information for human review (or flag items of particular interest, based on analyst-defined conditions). This includes advanced I&W systems that will enable warfighters to anticipate and understand emerging threats earlier, allowing them to proactively shape the environment, as well as systems close to the tactical edge identifying adversarial denial and deception efforts. When paired with human judgment, these capabilities will enhance all-domain awareness, lead to tighter and more informed decision cycles, offer recommendations for different courses of action, and allow rapid counter-actions to adversary actions".

Dear Hoppy,

What an amazing analysis and I love the way you tied Dr Strangelove into it!😜

In all seriousness though, it is a pretty scary world that we live in and the implications that advanced AI will have on the world as we know it are unfathomable. Let’s hope us humans can use it to our advantage, not to our detriment.

PS: Birdie num nums!

Hi FF and others

I came across this following site on youtube


Also the following site briefly talks about both Mythic and Brainchip (both located roughly 2/3rds down the page. From my limited knowledge Mystic appears to be a direct competitor (yes/no?) Could someone with appropriate insite please comment



The following is an extract for this site

MYTHIC​


The Era of Analog Compute has Arrived!

ResNet-50 in our prototype analog AI processor. Production release will support 900-1000 fps and INT8 accuracy at 3W.
A battery powered neural chip from Mythic with 50x lower power.

Founded in 2012, Texas-based startup Mythic (formerly known as Isocline) has taken in $9.5 million in funding with Draper Fisher Jurvetson as the lead investor. Prior to receiving any funding, the startup has taken in $2.5 million in grants. Mythic is developing an AI chip that “puts desktop GPU compute capabilities and deep neural networks onto a button-sized chip – with 50x higher battery life and far more data processing capabilities than competitors“. Essentially, that means you can give voice control and computer vision to any device locally without needing cloud connectivity.




BrainChip Showcases Vision and Learning Capabilities of its Akida Neural Processing IP and Device at tinyML Summit 2020

BrainChip Holdings Ltd. (ASX: BRN), a leading provider of ultra-low power, high-performance edge AI technology, today announced that it will present its revolutionary new breed of neuromorphic processing IP and Device in two sessions at the tinyML Summit at the Samsung Strategy & Innovation Center in San Jose, California February 12-13.
BrainChip Inc (CA. USA) was the first company to offer a Spiking Neural processor, which was patented in 2008 (patent US 8,250,011). The current device, called the BrainChip Accelerator is a chip intended for rapid learning. It is offered as part of the BrainChip Studio software. BrainChip is a publicly listed company as part of BrainChip Holdings Ltd.

Move on, nothing to see.
Was ist das Dallas?
It’s about Germany wanting to build a missile shield over itself.

I do not understand what this has to do with BrainChip nor for what reason Dallas originally posted it??

Heading
Israels "Iron Dome" ist VorbildBund soll Kauf von Raketenschutzschild prüfen”
Or in English
Israel's "Iron Dome" is a model Federal government to examine purchase of missile protection shield”

Translated article”
”The federal government wants to arm itself against a possible military threat from Russia. Therefore, according to a media report, she is considering building a radar shield over Germany to ward off missiles. An Israeli system is to be used for this purpose.

In view of the Ukraine war and the threat from Russia, the federal government is examining the construction of a missile protection shield over the federal territory, according to a newspaper report. During a consultation of Chancellor Olaf Scholz with Inspector General Eberhard Zorn this week on the use of the 100 billion euro special fund for the Bundeswehr, such an "Iron Dome" (Iron Dome) was also a topic, reported Bild am Sonntag. Specifically, it was about a possible acquisition of the isreal "Arrow 3" system.

According to the report, a decision has not yet been made, but the SPD is in favour of the purchase. The main rapporteur in the Committee on Budgets on the Defence budget, Andreas Schwarz, told Bild am Sonntag: "We must better protect ourselves from the threat from Russia. For this we need a Germany-wide missile protection umbrella quickly." He added: "The Israeli system Arrow 3 is a good solution."

Expert on German air Defence

Politics of past years has left us defenceless

According to the newspaper, the system would cost two billion euros, according to information from security circles. Since it is available on the market, it could therefore be operational as early as 2025. For the missile shield, missile radar systems of the type "Super Greene Pine" would therefore be installed at three locations in Germany, which send their data to the national command post in Uedem. There, air force soldiers would evaluate the situation picture. In an emergency, an "Arrow 3" rocket would be shot down by one of the launchers distributed in Germany, which would intercept and destroy the attacker rocket.

According to the report, the radars are so powerful that the protective screen could also cover Poland, Romania or the Baltic States. Neighbouring countries would then have to buy Arrow 3 missiles, the radar image would be provided by Germany. Schwarz told the newspaper: "We can also span the Iron Dome over our neighbouring countries. This would give us a key role in Europe's security."


And this seems to be a version of the article published in English

didn't want to confuse anyone. but since we have a partnership with AirForce about the development of a radar system. I thought to share an article where you can see where this can go. Which by the way is new and is currently being discussed a lot on TV.

I've just been reading through the Renesas thread after a break from these forums... wow! Seems to be an explosion of AI products... especially when looking at all the ecosystem partners. Maybe a little early to be too optimistic... but I'm very curious to see revenue figures in the next quarterly, which is just around the corner.

Different technology. ResApp detects small but different sounds from the alveoli via a forced cough into an app. Like Shazam in a sense. Diagnoses a raft of respiratory disease like pneumonia, bronchitis, COPD and asthma. Now they also screen for COVID. Fast, accurate, scalable and cheap. I hold this company.

https://brainchipinc.com/brainchip-holdings-momentum-keeps-building/ new research


https://brainchipinc.com/brainchip-holdings-welcome-to-the-revolution/ old research


New Pitt street resesrch article. Valuation stays the same @$1.50 slightly disappointed with that as a few key things have happens since their last valuation @$1.50 but I guess they are trying to be realistic.

Good summery, but not as good as their first one in my opinion. I think they are just building on the momentum of their last research and has not included a lot of the earlier achievements in this article. So I recommend reading both together to get a complete perspective on Brainchip.

I thought this was interesting. This fellow worked at Hewlett-Packard Back then for around 12 years and as you will see has a belief in neuromorphic computing. If you only give him a credibility rating of 50% to account for the issues around social media what Brainchip has achieved to date is well beyond astounding.

How far along is neuromorphic computing?
How far along is neuromorphic computing?
It’s no less than 20 years out. I regularly attend IEEE meetings related to the core technologies and its manufacture. I also work with organizations likely to be the first to adopt.
We haven't figured out the basic details of the devices required to make neuromorphic neural nets yet. We have ideas of what likely will work but these devices are still Big-Research, Little-Product Development (R & d), rather than Little-R, Big-D.
The devices that have been built are not reliable enough to be used commercially yet. There are issues with manufacturability and quality. There is infrastructure uncertainty and market uncertainty still - everyone promises they’ll buy product but until they actually do, they could be blowing smoke up your posterior.
We don’t yet have test equipment capable of testing many of the fundamental performance metrics of these devices. Developing the latter will still take 5–10 years if we could get a firm spec for what is required and the numbers we have so far tell us WE need several years of R&D ourselves as upstream suppliers to these researchers just to figure out how to make such equipment and make it useable.
We have at least started toward this technology but there are many, many critical path issues unsolved and undefined still. It’s not an economically viable reality yet. It’s still pure research. This is actually 100% normal for early stage pre-technologies. In general, you have a 20 year timer that only starts once you’ve proven all the key underlying technologies.
The short answer: getting a PhD in the area (which takes 5–10 years) is still a good idea if you want to do that. Many PhD-level questions still need to answered first/yet!

So one might surmise, from this article, that Brainchip are up to 18 years ahead of the competition 🤔 I wonder what the share price will be in 18 years...... 😂

Assuming you have read the above this fellow in 2020 would clearly have been aware of IBM - True North, Intel - Loihi, HRL - Synapse, ETA - chip, SpinNaker, Human Brain Project etc, etc.

Working at Hewlett-Packard a company of sufficient size and reach that all of the players who had advanced neuromorphic products would have been pitching to yet he is maintaining at least 20 years. At about the time he was posting Brainchip was just starting to move out of stealth mode.

HE WOULD CLEARLY HAVE PLACED BRAINCHIP A BIT MORE THAN THREE YEARS AHEAD BACK THEN IF HE HAD KNOWN.

Who is looking forward to Ford breaking cover and saying they have “Akida Inside” 😁.

Surely they want to be looking as cool and EV competitive as Mercedes soon!

I did hear of the ResApp approach being debunked somewhat due to the fact that many covid sufferers do not have a cough. Many sufferers are completely asymptomatic. DISC: I hold shares in ResApp.

The Nanose /diaNose approach of detecting Volatile Organic Compounds seems, IMHO, to be where the future lies.
