I had the privilege of speaking with Sunny Bains on the Brains and Machines podcast. Listen in to learn about SynSense low-power sensory processors, and Neuromorphics is 2024.

Governing autonomous systems at machine speed


An interview on AI governance and LexChip

Humans are not capable of practically overseeing the actions of autonomous systems, as these accelerate and proliferate. In this interview I talk about governing autonomous systems by their behaviour, in the same way the law governs humans, and how LexChip uses consent-based smart legal contracts to bring real-time oversight, breach detection and a legally admissible record to autonomous AI deployments.

Spikes, wiring, and general principles


An interview on neuroscience and spiking neural networks

Is spike timing essential to cortical computation, or just an efficient way to transmit information? In this interview I discuss moving from modelling cortical computation in academia to engineering spiking neural networks at SynSense; the search for general principles in neocortex; and what a complete connectome would and would not tell us.
