Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with entrepreneur Charles Schoenhoeft, CEO of Neural AI, to talk about a brain-like approach to computing that changes how data is sensed, processed, and acted on. We break down neuromorphic technology, including a neural “nose” that treats smell as usable data, and why parallel processing on hardware matters for speed, energy use, and real-world applications. Charles explains how this technology works at the edge without relying on the cloud, why it fits the future of data centers, and how it applies to robotics, vision, big data, weather forecasting, and pattern recognition in finance. We also touch on scaling the business globally and preparing these systems for market.

Welcome to Entrepreneurs the Playbook. I'm David Meltzer, and we have the CEO at Neural AI Inc.

0:08.0

And the gentleman who's running the ship is Charlie Schoenhoff. Welcome to the playbook.

0:15.1

Thanks. It's an honor to be here.

0:17.3

Everybody has some sort of implementation or execution with AI, and neural AI's unique approach to

0:25.5

AI and the solutions that you have really make a big difference and wanted to understand

0:33.0

how you actually have created what I think is the first AI knows, a neuromorphic

0:40.6

sniffer that can change a variety of different applications of robotics and of

0:48.0

biometrics and I'm sure other different applications that are revolving around data even in the quantum computing space

0:58.6

what are some of the significant differences when we can actually use smell as data yeah you know

1:07.8

it's it's interesting people think that you know you have a CO2 detector, for instance, on your ceiling,

1:13.7

and this has been solved.

1:14.9

But actually, the issue of smell as a device or as a technology is actually underserved.

1:24.6

What we're working with is a neuromorphic technology.

1:29.3

A neuromorphic really means brain-like processing.

1:35.9

And so we are building applications from that neuromorphic,

1:40.5

and the first thing that we did was build this neural nose.

1:44.0

And we're applying nanotechnologies

1:46.6

to sense whatever it is so tiny tiny little little objects that are connected to our neurons so they

1:56.0

see something they send it to the the neural brain brain and were able to identify very quickly different

2:04.0

smells than out in the world.

2:06.2

And everything from, you know, toxic chemicals through to particular drugs and that sort

2:12.5

of thing.
