We’re delighted to share that our CEO, Noel Hurley, featured on the latest episode of the BritChips podcast series, hosted by award-winning tech analyst Anthony Miller. The episode, titled “Taking AI Literally,” dives into Noel’s journey — from his early days at Xmos, to two decades at Arm, to his decision to lead Literal Labs.
In the episode, Noel unpacks why Tsetlin Machines, based on the work of Soviet mathematician Mikhail Tsetlin, offer a game-changing alternative to today’s compute-hungry AI models. Literal Labs' logic-driven approach to AI can deliver over 50× faster decision-making without the need for accelerator hardware.
As Anthony Miller notes, “AI isn’t always just about the chips.”
The episode is a must-listen for those interested in semiconductors, energy-efficient AI, and the logic-first future Literal Labs is pioneering.
