Register now for this exciting discussion: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6456334917739156311?source=07172024meetupeventInformation technology (IT) has been transformed by the arrival of powerful new artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities like the generative AI of ChatGPT 4. Operational technology (OT), however, has additional considerations regarding availability and trustworthiness of AI, so questions exist as to how control systems like the SCADA and PLCs in the electric distribution grid can reap the benefits of AI while adhering to the rigorous security standards necessary for high consequence systems.
- Can critical infrastructure like the smart grids that have enhanced electric grid operations be made even smarter with AI suited to OT?
- Can such OT-AI use the enhanced security and low-latency enhancements of 5G (and eventually 6G) technologies, including the Open Radio Access Network (ORAN) protocols that are revolutionizing control systems and including software defined elements throughout next generation radio networks?
- How will the governance considerations for critical infrastructure speed or hinder the development of OT-AI for a "brilliant grid" ready for what is next in the ever more challenging environment of state-backed cyber operations?

... and here's another thing (about why I think it is not impossible that Valeo and Mercedes could be using Akida simulation software, in particular TeNNs).
We know TeNNs has not been produced in hardware. but on the BRN TeNNs webpage, there are some performance tables for TeNNs, which can only have been produced by software simulation or by the use of some performance estimation software, but, since we have the simulation software in MetaTF, we can discount the second alternative.
These tables show TeNNs performance of real world tasks, eg:
This demonstrates the practicality of using the TeNNs simulation software in actual use cases.
As I've mentioned before, with the special co-development EAP partnerships, such as Valeo and Mercedes, who have been aware of TeNNs for over 2 years,, and who have pressing needs to get to market before their competitors and cannot afford to wait for the Akida 2 silicon or even the finalized IP, Akida software simulation could be a viable option.
Now I'm not suggesting that Sean should change horses in mid-stream and immediately set up a software business, but it is something which could be considered for the future.

Is Akida software simulation free of charge?
Mate, I hope you're joking because I am so sick and tired of explaining about our business model. It takes years and decades to build a moat of IPs, collaborations, and then product development.
If you are so sick of our lack of revenue, then please do us a favour and sell up.
Sick of people not understanding what they invest in!
Hold long enough and you'll be rewarded handsomely. It is just a matter of when!
I spoke to Sean yesterday and sounds like things are happening in the background.

This is interesting. Softbank plans to unleash the potential of space-based technologies like satellite communications...
Whilst there is no mention of neuromorphic computing per se, we know that ESA and ISL are investigating the use of neuromorphic processors for AI/ML power and mass/volume optimisation in space. Obviously satellites have limitations, but technologies like edge processing and cognitive radio can optimize these limited communication resources.
The article describes Softbank's collaboration with OneWeb. And, intriguingly Nandan Nyampally liked a Linkedin Post from Relativity Space announcing a Launch Services Agreement between OneWeb and Relativity Space (see screenshot below article). And Relativity Space also work closely with NASA.
So, it maybe worth keeping an eye (or a thousand) on this for future developments.

With the benefit of hindsight, though, I must concede we don’t seem to have been involved in JoeySat, otherwise there wouldn’t have been all those excited Akida in Space! social media posts by our company only after the launch of the ANT61 Brain computer onboard the Optimus-1 spacecraft that now unfortunately seems to be lost in space. For those who missed the sad news that @Iseki shared with us last month: despite relentless efforts, Spaces Machines’ mission control has been unable to establish communications with Optimus-1.
By the way, its successor, Optimus-2, is scheduled to be launched in 2026 by an Indian mission - the deal was signed in Delhi two weeks ago. Whether or not Akida will be onboard that new satellite remains to be seen…

Historic signing to see India launch largest Australian-made spacecraft
27 June 2024
A 2026 Indian mission will launch the largest Australian-made spacecraft into orbit, after a historic signing in Delhi.
The details of the mission – Space MAITRI (Mission for Australia-India’s Technology, Research and Innovation) – was announced on Thursday following an agreement between Australia’s Space Machines Company and India’s NewSpace India Limited (NSIL).
The agreement will see Space Machines Company’s second Optimus spacecraft, a 450 kg Orbital Servicing Vehicle, launched on NSIL's Small Satellite Launch Vehicle. It is the first dedicated launch agreement between Australia and India.
The mission will focus on debris management and sustainability and will significantly advance Australia’s domestic space industry, by combining Australian spacecraft capabilities with India's launch expertise.
New launchpad for Australian-Indian commercial space ties
Earlier this year, the Australian Government announced funding for three collaborative space projects, including $8.5 million for Space MAITRI.The announced projects were a part of the Australian Space Agency’s $18 million International Space Investment India (ISI) Projects program to strengthen the space economy for the two partner nations.
Head of the Australian Space Agency, Enrico Palermo, said the agreement is an important step towards enhancing Australia’s space heritage and strengthening the nation’s relationship with India.
“This formal agreement and mission will leverage our countries’ respective capabilities and unique strengths to make space activities more sustainable.”
Last week, Mr Palermo hosted His Excellency Gopal Baglay, High Commissioner of India to Australia, Dr S Janakiraman, Consul General of India for Sydney, and other Indian representatives for a bilateral meeting at the Australian Space Agency’s Headquarters in Adelaide. The attendees emphasised the importance of strengthening bilateral ties and enhancing space capabilities.
Shared commitment to sustainable space operations
The Space MAITRI mission involves several Australian and Indian partner companies collaborating with Space Machines Company, including Digantara, Ananth Technologies, The University of Adelaide, The University of Sydney, The University of Technology Sydney, LeoLabs, Advanced Navigation, and the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.“The Space MAITRI mission and our collaboration with NSIL represents a significant leap forward for Australia’s space industry. By combining our innovative spacecraft capabilities with India’s proven launch expertise, we are not only strengthening the ties between our nations’ space sectors but also demonstrating our shared commitment to sustainable space operations,” said Rajat Kulshrestha, CEO and Co-Founder of Space Machines Company.
India’s space sector is the fastest growing in the world, and is expected to grow by US$47.3 billion by 2032, and we continue to strengthen collaboration between our respective space industries across mutual priority areas.

It is provided "free" as part of MetaTF when someone purchases an Akida IP licence for the purpose of designing and testing the configuration of the NN.
Outside of that, I would think that it's commercial use would attract a licence fee.
I would think that TeNNs would be a suitable candidate for software licensing as it would be a simpler programme than the Akida NPE simulation. However, software, while cheap to manufacture, needs constant support and maintenance.

Translated by DeepL:
Prophesee and Bpifrance invest €15 million in the development of neuromorphic AI
The aim of the project is to develop a new generation of neuromorphic sensors, manufactured in France, for use in the AI embedded in 1.3 billion smartphones.
With this development, Prophesee is consolidating its global technological leadership in neuromorphic AI.
This project, PERSEPHONE, is co-financed by Prophesee and Bpifrance as part of a grant awarded under the Embedded AI AAP launched by France 2030.
Paris, 4 July 2024 - Prophesee, the world leader in neuromorphic vision, has announced an investment of €15 million to develop the next generation of neuromorphic AI dedicated to mobile phones. This project, financed by Bpifrance as part of the Embedded AI Call for Projects launched by France 2030, will lead to the manufacture of "Made in France" sensors. Thanks to this strategic support, Prophesee is strengthening its global technological leadership in neuromorphic vision.
Innovation for embedded AI
The aim of this project is to mainstream the integration of a new standard of neuromorphic artificial intelligence into mobile phones. Inspired by the energy efficiency and operating speed of the eye-brain pair, this technology will enable advanced AI models applied to vision to be executed directly at the heart of mobile devices, using photos and videos, which are now the primary sources of artificial intelligence worldwide.
Applied to mobile phones, neuromorphic AI makes possible a number of significant technological advances in terms of image quality, very low energy consumption, much faster processing and data confidentiality, since on-board processing does not require the use and storage of a cloud.
A revolution in uses
Prophesee's revolutionary Metavision® sensors add a new dimension to mobile photography. They change the paradigm of traditional image capture by focusing solely on movements in a scene, pixel by pixel, continuously and at extreme speeds. Each pixel in the sensor incorporates dedicated intelligence, enabling it to act like a neuron, activating itself autonomously as a function of the movement it detects. This activation, known as an event, enables high-performance defocusing by synchronising the image sensor with Prophesee's neuromorphic sensor, filling the information gap on a microsecond scale to extract motion information algorithmically. This revolutionary approach to photography makes it possible to correct image blur under all conditions, enables smoother, super-slow motion videos and opens up a new field of on-board understanding of the environment (gesture and movement detection).
This project represents a major step forward for Prophesee and the telecommunications industry, positioning France at the forefront of innovation in neuromorphic AI.
Luca Verre, CEO of Prophesee, comments: "This new funding from France 2030 confirms Prophesee's technological leadership. Together with our reference partners, our ambition is to create the next generation of embedded neuromorphic AI for the mobile phone market, where our technology represents a technological leap forward".
Paul-Francois Fournier, Executive Director in charge of Innovation at Bpifrance, comments: "Prophesee is one of the technology nuggets that identified the potential of embedded AI very early on. With this project funded as part of France 2030's national AI strategy, Prophesee is accelerating its mastery of event-based technology as close as possible to image sensors. Their innovative approach and ability to transform the way we interact with our mobile devices is testament to France's ambition to remain at the forefront of global technology."
About Prophesee
Prophesee is the inventor of the world's most advanced neuromorphic vision systems.
Its Metavision® sensors and artificial intelligence algorithms, protected by 51 patents, open up a new era in computer vision by drawing inspiration from the way the eye and the brain work.
Prophesee sensors continuously perceive the essential visual information of movement in the scene, pixel by pixel, just as our retinal photosensitive cells do.
This new category of vision, known as "event vision", overcomes the limitations imposed by standard cameras, which traditionally capture 24 images per second.
It offers unprecedented levels of performance and security for autonomous vehicles, IoT and Industry 4.0: speed (>100,000 images per second), dynamic range (>120dB), data volume (-10x to -1000x) and energy efficiency (<10mW)

About the France 2030 investment plan
The France 2030 investment plan reflects a dual ambition: to transform key sectors of our economy (health, energy, automotive, aeronautics and space) over the long term through technological innovation, and to position France not just as a player, but as a leader in the world of tomorrow. From fundamental research, to the emergence of an idea, to the production of a new product or service, France 2030 supports the entire life cycle of innovation, right through to its industrialisation.
The scale of the programme is unprecedented: €54 billion will be invested to ensure that our businesses, universities and research bodies make the transition to these strategic sectors a success. The aim is to enable them to respond competitively to the ecological and attractiveness challenges of the world to come, and to develop the future leaders of our sectors of excellence. France 2030 is defined by two cross-cutting objectives: to devote 50% of its spending to decarbonising the economy, and 50% to emerging players who are driving innovation, without spending anything that is detrimental to the environment (as defined by the Do No Significant Harm principle).
Will be implemented collectively: designed and deployed in consultation with economic, academic, local and European players to determine the strategic orientations and flagship actions. Project leaders are invited to submit their applications via open, demanding and selective procedures in order to benefit from government support.
The programme is managed by the General Secretariat for Investment on behalf of the Prime Minister and implemented by the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME), the French National Research Agency (ANR), Bpifrance and the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC).
