BrainChiprecently announcedits Akida neural networking processor.
The processor uses chips inspired by the spiking nature of the human brain.
It’s part of a growing effort to commercialize chips based on human neural structures.

The vehicle incorporates neuromorphic computing to help reduce power consumption and extend vehicle range.
BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic chip allows in-cabin keyword spotting instead of using power-hungry data transmission to process instructions.
One significant advantage to chips designed like a brain, also called neuromorphic design, is potential power savings.

The chips could also be helpful for edge devices like smartphones where battery power is limited, Saxena said.
Intel is working on its Loihi neuromorphic chip, but it’s not yet available for purchase.
Neuromorphic chips could also allow computers to see like humans.Prophesee is applying neuromorphic techniquesto vision processing.
The new chips could perform local AI tasks to learn from and adapt to local and changing environments.
“All this without the need for cloud communication, hence enabling built-in privacy,” he added.
