Steven Brightfield
Steven Brightfield has over 20 years of success defining and bringing to market new semiconductor products with companies such as Qualcomm, SiMA.ai. LSI Logic, Plessey and Zoran for mobile, AR/VR, wearable, edge ML, cable/sat set-top and digital camera chips. He has 10 years of experience launching programmable semiconductor IP cores for CPU/GPU/DSP/NPUs at LSI Logic,ARC, MIPS, Silicon Arts, Improv, and BOPS and licensing into end products that are ubiquitous today. Steven’s technical foundation in digital signal processing led to using (DSPs in innovative products that digitized the world of speech, audio, multimedia, graphics, camera and video processing, most recently applying AI/ML in these same domains. Steven recently joined the BrainChip leadership team to further drive BrainChip’s brand recognition, go-to-market strategy and customer acquisition as BrainChip enters a growth phase for their flagship Akida products. Steven has a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University.

BrainChip is a leader in edge AI on-chip processing and learning. The company’s first-to-market convolutional, neuromorphic processor, AkidaTM, mimics the event-based processing method of the human brain in digital technology to classify sensor data at the point of acquisition, processing data with unparalleled energy-efficiency and independent of the CPU or MCU with high precision. On-device learning that is local to the chip without the need to access the cloud dramatically reduces latency while improving privacy and data security. In enabling effective edge computing to be universally deployable across real-world applications, such as connected cars, consumer electronics, and industrial IoT, BrainChip is proving that on-chip AI is the future for customers’ products, the planet and beyond.
