In this TechXchange Talks, we speak with Anil Mankar, Co-founder and Chief Development Officer at BrainChip, about AI and neural-networking ICs. The company's small, ultra-low-power chip has capabilities such as on-chip training, learning, and inference. The event-based neural-network processor mimics the spiking nature of the human brain, and by mimicking brain processing, BrainChip's processing architecture, called Akida, is both scalable and flexible to address the needs of edge devices.
