A Zoom Conversation with Numenta CEO Subutai Ahmad

Christy Maver, VP Marketing, recently spoke with our CEO, Subutai Ahmad about the latest developments at Numenta. In this Zoom conversation, they discussed our AI technology, the performance improvements companies are getting from it today, how our neuroscience discoveries help shape it, and what excites Subutai the most when thinking about the next couple years.

Numenta has developed breakthrough advances in AI technology that enable customers to achieve 10-100X improvement in performance across broad use cases, such as natural language processing and computer vision. Backed by two decades of neuroscience research, we developed a framework for intelligence called The Thousand Brains Theory. By leveraging these discoveries and applying them to AI systems, we’re able to deliver extreme performance improvements and unlock new capabilities.

It would have been good to know what the general message of this convo was going to be from the title besides just a conversation. Also where did Jeff go?

[sgrimm]

Could someone point me in the direction of one of your videos where 'reference frames' are precisely explained? I've read the new book (as well as the first one)....and Jeff does a great job, but the new information coming out of this book is the discovery of the use of reference frames....and I'm stopped dead in my tracks. I can't seem to find any real defining, actual implementation and/or physical description of this process. I have a vague idea, but I think I'm wrong. Numenta and Jeff changed my whole outlook and direction of my own research and I believe that Jeff, Subutai and this company should be on the forefront of all "AI" development and we all should be taking lessons from them. If I could only get a good grasp of what is meant by the term Reference Frames. Thank you.

Why is Jeff Hawkins no longer the CEO?

[DanMcCreary]

I am looking foward to seeing how large neural networks could be pre-trained with reference frames. Perhaps current large-language-models could be transformed into reference frames that would then seed new networks that are fine-tuned.

Would your technology work on the analog chip systems such as mythic or rain neuromorphic hardware? Seems to me that Numenta's approach would be a good match for this kind of hardware. I love your video series on the different theories on ai and the brain. Thank you so much for this video.

Any practical example everyone can understand?

Hello. This was good speech. Please give holidays to Anosh Raj. His mother is haunting me here.

too much hand waving ... need more concrete progress and published work .
