You have a habit of making assumptions, that display a basic ignorance of what we do, and where we fit in the would of AI.makes sense in reference to Brainchip imo.
CEO of Google DeepMind Says AI Industry Full of Hype and Grifters
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassibis likened the hype shrouding the AI gold rush to that of the crypto industry's high-dollar funding race.futurism.com
That's not really true. I listened to a science podcast about that issue.But they don’t lie
Mmmm, yes. I was actually relaying part of an old yarn that my father once told me years ago when big companies converted to computers, about an older fellow who was sent an excessively high electricity bill. When he queried the bill with the electricity company the employee exclaimed "I'm sorry sir but there is no mistake because computers do not lie" and needed to pay the full amount. Then a couple of months later the gentleman received quite a substantial credit from the electricity company in the form of a cheque. When the electricity company tried to retrieve the amount that was mistakenly sent to the gentleman he replied "I'm sorry sir but computers do not lie"That's not really true. I listened to a science podcast about that issue.
Even a system that has programmed extra honest as a strategy game participant deliberately lied.
AI systems have learned how to deceive humans. What does that mean for our future?
Just one of several examples. It is also about a ChatGPT4 trading bot programmed by Apollo Research in London to manage a fictitious portfolio.
Hopa mentioned the famous example of the capcha where the Ai/computer lied to the person it called and claimed it was blind.
Unfortunately, the podcast is only in German.
By the way, I find it interesting that Ai systems were proven to have answered absolutely correctly and then floundered after being accused of making false statements.
However, Ai can definitely lie.
"AI and lies
Will artificial intelligence soon trick us?
Artificial intelligence has learnt to deceive. There are already cases in which the systems have lied to people. Some experts are asking themselves: can we still trust the machines we create?"
Maybe for the Germans among us. I find it this very interesting:
Experten in Sorge: Künstliche Intelligenz kann lügen
Sie fällt Mitspielern in den Rücken, gibt sich als Mensch mit Sehbehinderung aus. Wenn KI das Lügen lernt, stellt sich die Frage: Wird sie kontrollierbar?www.deutschlandfunk.de
How can the goal be achieved? By circumventing the security barriers, by pretending not to lie.

Good point Chips. They actually do come with integrated Lights front and rear. It is called the Equipped Version, and it is $100 dollars more, plus it comes with the fenders too.

Hi Tech,Very nice indeed !
Apple was well behind the eight ball when I first connected with Brainchip, and I believe that they scoured the planet in search of
top quality talent, including poaching staff in a bid to "catch-up" so to speak.
Over the last 2 years they appear to have made big strides, and the only thing lacking in that article Bravo are the words we ALL
wish to see, BRAINCHIP & AKIDA...it's still possible we are or have chatted with Apple, purely speculation on my part, as Apple are
well known for liking to go it alone.
Cheers for the post....Tech

Apple is well known for stealing technology… I expect an announcement from them soon with something like “we introduce you our all new brain inspired Neuromorphic chip THE AKIZA”Very nice indeed !

Just tossing out a thought: Many Neuromorphic techniques will likely win hugely.Synsense has both analog and digital SNNs and they have used their analog Dynap (Speck) SNN with Prophesee for vision:

And remind me, this is mixed-signal or digital?
DYLAN MUIR
This is fully digital. It’s an asynchronous digital architecture. I mean the pixel itself obviously has got some analog components for the photo detector and so on. But the processing side is fully digital.
SALLY WARD-FOXTON
Seems like you have two families of chip. The one that’s in this Speck module. And then there’s another family, which is newer, or older?
DYLAN MUIR
Xylo – it’s a little bit newer. So that’s we’re targeting that for natural signal processing, meaning audio, biosignals, vibration, IMU/accelerometers, things like this. We’ve had a few tapeouts already for the Xylo, we have a dev kit available with an audio version, so that includes a little digital processor core plus a very efficient audio front end. We have a recent publication, some presentations from the end of last year where we’re demonstrating ultra-low power audio processing applications on that chip at a few hundred microwatts. So the idea then of course is also smart low power edge sensory processing. The family will have a common processor architecture plus a number of very efficient sensory interfaces. So we have audio out already, we have an IMU sensory interface which we’re bringing up and testing actually at the moment. We plan to have samples available at the end of this year, beginning of next year, and then there will be other sensory interfaces for other classes of application as well. Yeah, we’ll take these in turn for the use cases that that look like the most commercially accessible.
It’s a different architecture, so Speck is really tailored for vision processing applications and it does very efficient convolutional neural network inference. Xylo is a more general-purpose architecture for mostly non convolutional network architectures. It also has a more advanced neuron model. So it’s still spiking neurons of course, the spiking neurons on Speck are very simple. They’re essentially just a digital counter with no temporal dynamics, whereas the neurons on Xylo are a simulation of a a leaky integrate and fire spiking neuron, a very standard neuron model, including these temporal dynamics, which are very configurable on the chip, so that that’s really suited for temporal signal processing. So when we do things like keyword spotting for example, for audio processing, the standard neural network approach is to buffer 100 milliseconds or 50 milliseconds of audio, produce a spectrogram for that 100 milliseconds, and then treat that as an image.
We don’t do that. We really operate in a continuous streaming mode, where we process the audio as it comes into the device meaning we can have potentially lower latency. We don’t need to do buffering, we don’t need… We can get away with smaller resources for the temporal signal processing, because we’ve got this temporal integration of information in the neurons themselves. and so this lets us operate at lower power.
The Xylo chip is synchronous digital. The reason for the difference is the DVS sensor is fundamentally asynchronous itself, and if you’ve got a static camera application, then there can be basically nothing changing, nothing going on in the visual scene, and then you get basically no input and you don’t need to do anything. Whereas for audio processing, you’ve always got ambient sound coming in and so you essentially need to be processing continuously and then the synchronous digital design is a simpler design.
So essentially we have a digital clocked simulation of the leaky integrate and fire dynamics on Xylo. And so your input clock frequency might be for example 5 megahertz, but then the network dynamics can be slower than this. You can choose to integrate over several seconds and then the simulation of each individual neuron is computed inside Xylo, but you can choose a long time scale to continuously integrate information inside the neuron, if you if you so desire. It’s essentially a little a little synchronous ASIC core for inference in spiking neurons, including these temporal dynamics. So we’re just running a little digital simulation of the of the spiking neuron dynamics.
SALLY WARD-FOXTON
Last time we spoke, which admittedly was a while ago, you had partnered with Prophesee, also. How is that collaboration going?
DYLAN MUIR
That’s going very well. We’ve fabricated a device with Prophesee, and this is… we’re testing this, examining this at the moment, in conjunction with them.
SALLY WARD-FOXTON
OK, to be clear, it uses a different processor that you’ve made compared to the Speck module – or the same?
DYLAN MUIR
The processor IP is basically the same, same design, that’s our processor design for Speck. These little DYNAP-CNN cores and that’s what we apply for CNN processing. So we’ve also looked at, for example, an RGB standard CMOS camera interface which we could then also process using the same spiking CNN architecture.
