On 28th April 2025 the European Brain Council published the European Charter for the Responsible Development of Neurotechnologies. I was invited to join the working group as an industry expert, due to my neuroscience background and my work at SynSense on ultra-low-power AI.
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.
