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.

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.

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.
