Why is AI so powerful in the cloud but still so limited inside everyday devices, and what would it take to run intelligent systems locally without draining battery or sacrificing privacy?

In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith speaks with Steve Brightfield, Chief Marketing Officer at BrainChip, about neuromorphic computing and why brain inspired architectures may be the key to the future of edge AI.

We explore how neuromorphic systems differ from traditional GPU based AI, why event driven and spiking neural networks are dramatically more power efficient, and how on device inference enables faster response times, lower costs, and stronger data privacy. Steve explains why brute force computation works in data centers but breaks down at the edge, and how edge AI is reshaping wearables, sensors, robotics, hearing aids, and autonomous systems.

You will also hear real world examples of neuromorphic AI in action, from smart glasses and medical monitoring to radar, defense, and space applications. The conversation covers how developers can transition from conventional models to neuromorphic architectures, what role heterogeneous computing plays alongside CPUs and GPUs, and why the next wave of AI adoption will happen quietly inside the devices we use every day.
