Neuromorphic computing: Ushering in AI innovation in BFSI​

Highlights​

• Firms in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) industry have embraced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
• These technologies use deep learning (DL) models that require massive sets of training data, consume enormous amounts of power, and fall short in adapting to the changing business environment.
• Neuromorphic computing (NC) can help firms leverage the latest innovations in AI to address some of the existing challenges while paving the way for next-generation use cases.

Thanks Champee from the other place.

The article had a link called:

Advancing edge computing capabilities with neuromorphic platforms​

Sadly they mention Intel prominently and Akida as a sidenote.

Creating Futuristic Edge Systems with Neuromorphic Computing

As AI techniques on classical processor architecture become a concern, explore neuromorphic computing to create futuristic systems with intelligence at the edge.

No date on the 2 white papers so not sure how old they are.

Speaking of TATA, I had high hopes here but haven't heard anything from them in a long time.

They partnered with BRN summer 2023.

Quote from their CEO: “The combination of our user-centric design expertise with leading-edge technologies is key to helping enterprises reimagine their products and services to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and deliver new services to their customers,” said Manoj Raghavan, CEO and MD at Tata Elxsi. “This cannot be possible without our global ecosystem of partners. By partnering with BrainChip and implementing Akida technology into medical and industrial solutions, we are able to deliver innovative solutions at a faster time to market than otherwise possible.”

Tata Elxsi is a part of the very large Tata group with over 1.1 million people employed.

Hi Guzzi,

If I'm not mistaken both of these TCS papers are old.

Neuromorphic Computing in BFSI: The tech of the future

Spiking neural networks, when run on NC hardware, can help overcome issues in the existing AI and ML deployments and conceptualize new products and services.

The second one was first posted here by @equanimous on 22 August 2022 which you can see on this link #2. You can see it's the same article (even though the pdf no longer links to anything) because of the following post from uix , which you can see on this link #3 shows the same information in the section detailing Figure 4.

I remember we all discusssed it at the time becasue they spelled AKIDA wrong.

It looks like they may have just updated this paper and in doing so corrected the spelling of AKIDA.

Thanks! You have very good control over what and when something happened and digging it up again, kudos to you.

All this DD over 4-5 years are spinning in my old head, I want some deals.

Anyway, let's hope Tata will eventually use Akida in something, they have been playing around with it for 2-3 years.

Has been a little longer than 2-3 years for Tata (TCS)

BrainChip and TCS Demonstrate Akida Neuromorphic Platform at NeurIPS 2019

Looks like we’ll close flat today, then probably drift back to 12.5…12 tomorrow… lol this is the first stock I’ve owned where a green day…or even a green week…doesn’t really change anything.

Has been a little longer than 2-3 years for Tata (TCS)

BrainChip and TCS Demonstrate Akida Neuromorphic Platform at NeurIPS 2019

Since the 2019 demonstration, the technology has transitioned from a research prototype into a broader ecosystem of "Edge AI" solutions. TCS and BrainChip have targeted several industrial and consumer sectors for these gesture-recognition capabilities:

Automotive and ADAS: The platform is designed for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles, where gesture recognition can be used for non-distractive in-cabin controls, such as adjusting volume or climate through hand movements.[2] [7]
Vision-Guided Robotics: In industrial settings, TCS explores the use of Akida for human-robot collaboration, allowing robots to interpret hand signals from workers in real-time without needing a constant connection to a central server.[1] [3]
The Akida Edge AI Box: BrainChip recently unveiled the Akida Edge AI Box, a compact Linux-based appliance developed in partnership with VVDN Technologies. This product serves as a deployment vehicle for partners like TCS and BeEmotion to implement gesture recognition in retail, manufacturing, and healthcare environments.[8] [9]
Wearables and IoT: By combining Akida with Prophesee’s event-based cameras, the technology is being integrated into power-constrained wearables and AR/VR headsets. This enables "always-on" gesture sensing that consumes milliwatts of power, extending battery life significantly compared to standard camera-based AI.[10] [11]
The partnership continues to leverage Temporal Enabled-Neural Networks (TENNs) to improve the accuracy of spatiotemporal tasks, ensuring that gesture recognition remains robust even in high-speed or low-light environments

This actually is what people should be focused on. I am equally excited because in one swing of his IBM sword Kevin D. Johnson has moved the addressable market for
Brainchip’s AKIDA Technology from the Edge into the Cloud.

Now it was not just Kevin D. Johnson as he was enabled by the new Cloud version of Symphony released in October, 2025.

But just as that release was Brainchip’s good fortune the fact that Kevin D. Johnson has been minded to publicly share his findings has dovetailed very nicely with the TCS paper linked by @Champee.

Mercedes Benz sold 2.16 million vehicles in 2025.

According to a Google search IBM has 60 Cloud Server Centres around the world servicing the finance and medical industries. There is no number available for how many GPU’s are involved. In 2011 it was reported that IBM was serving over 26,000 customers across its earlier version of its current Cloud software.

Suffice to say the opportunity is greater with IBM than Mercedes Benz.
