Kaspersky buys stake in neuromorphic computing company - IT-Online

Kaspersky has become a shareholder of Motive Neuromorphic Technologies, a company specialising in neuromorphic computing technologies, with a 15% stake. The organisations' joint development efforts are aimed at creating new opportunities for machine learning-based solutions: self-learning systems and smart devices of the future. In 2019, Kaspersky concluded a cooperation agreement with Motive NT, joining it in the development of the Altai neuromorphic processor, which accelerates the hardware of systems using Machine Learning. During the partnership, the companies' specialists together produced their first batch of neuromorphic processors, developed a software package for them and successfully confirmed their performance on measures of speed and energy efficiency through experimentation. The companies are currently working on developing a second version of the neuromorphic processor, as well as searching for technological partners to establish joint pilot projects using the Altai neurochip.
