Could analog chips be the solution to AI’s power thirst?

Innatera's chip takes information from a sensor, converts it into spikes, and encodes the content based on when these spikes occur. The chip mimics the brain by scaling the current going into and coming out of the artificial neuron. The goal is not to disrupt the AI flow into the cloud but to replace AI chips on the edge that cannot currently make on-device decisions. The chip reduces the process of converting analog signals to digital by converting analog signals into spikes.
