Mikhail Lvovich Tsetlin was the visionary Soviet mathematician whose pioneering work married machine learning algorithms with game theory to create logic propositions for the classification of data used in AI decision making.

His work is the basis for what became known as the Tsetlin Machine.

I tell you this because my guest in the first episode of the new series of BritChips is semiconductor industry veteran, Noel Hurley.

Noel was one of the founders of Bristol-based semiconductor company Xmos, and among other roles, he'd also spent over 20 years with Arm.

Just a couple of years ago, Noel was appointed CEO of Newcastle-based AI start-up Literal Labs.

Literal Labs is creating AI models that have the potential to speed up AI decision-making by over 50 times without the need for accelerator hardware.

And it's all based on, you guessed it, the Tsetlin Machine.

You can hear the Literal Labs story in this podcast.

Because AI isn't always just about the chips!
