ArchiTek Booth Interview at CES Show 2023 Architek.ai

You wanted the best. You've got the best podcast, the hottest podcast in the world. The Chris Voss Show, the preeminent podcast with guests so smart you may experience serious brain bleed. The CEOs, authors, thought leaders, visionaries, and motivators. Get ready. Get ready. Strap yourself in. Keep your hands, arms, and legs inside the vehicle at all times because you're about to go on a monster education roller coaster with your brain. Now, here's your host, Chris Voss. Hi, this is Voss here from thechrisvossshow.com. We're at the Japan Pavilion.

We're talking with Archie Tech Corporation, and we've got Hassan here to help us out. Hassan, welcome to the show. Thank you so much. Thank you. And give us your dot coms, where we want people to find you on the interwebs. So, it's architect.com and here you

can just find us over there at architect. It's actually architect.ai. I'm sorry. Okay. Yes. Sounds good.

We'll have a link on the Chris Voss show. And so you've got some stuff going on here. What is it that Architech does? Okay. So we have made this chip over here. Okay. And this chip is trying to bring all the AI processing needs that are currently being done in the cloud onto handheld devices. Okay.

So, would this go on my phone or some sort of other handheld device? Yeah. So, we are creating this chip, a small chip. But to demonstrate the capabilities of this chip, we have made a reference handheld device. Okay. And this is our handheld device which has camera over here and the chip you can see over here. Okay. And this is processing a lot of different types of AI applications. Yeah.

Such as object detection over here and you can see the pose detection over there and using the pose detection we are counting the people in this area and we can also do facial recognition and the main point is all of this is being done on a mobile battery. Wow, on a mobile battery with that chip. You don't need to plug it into any power outlet. Wow. That's crazy. And so I'm seeing it here on the screen. It's showing me as an unregistered person. Yes.

I guess I need to register my first. So if I press this button, you're still unregistered. But once I press this, then it's going to try to register your face. And once it registers, it will then know your face. Whenever you come, it will give you a blue ring. So it would be like, Chris Voss, Chris Voss showed this to me. That's pretty cool. And so all this comes down to these tiny chips. Who are the people you're trying to meet here at CES and talk to?

Yes, we want people who would want to embed these chips in their devices, and there are a lot of people who are trying to make such intelligent devices, so those are the people we want to partner with. Definitely. And so I can see it doing distance maybe too, is that as well, it does distance? Yeah, it can do distance, it can also

identify trains, it can identify people. That's crazy, man, it's crazy, man. It's crazy. And it all comes down to just one little chip. And so you've got to work with manufacturers for like phones. Yeah. This can be used in a phone because right now most of the phones don't have AI capabilities.

But if a home manufacturer is interested, we can supply this chip, which can be embedded into the phone. It can use the factory itself and the camera of the phone. So I can see a whole stack of chips that they've got right there. I guess they have for sale in the back there? Actually, no. Because the chip is coming, the chip itself is coming out

in two, three months' time. So this is prototype. This is not a chip. It's chocolate. Oh, it's chocolate. So this is a giveaway. Okay. Well, I'll take one.

I need more chocolate. These are Japanese chocolates. Now, is it going to be able to track me if I eat the chocolate? Probably. It will recognize you eating the chocolate. So what other applications, maybe haven't we touched on these are good for? So one of the first applications that we actually used it for was not a AI application.

It was to guide a self-driving robot. Oh, wow. Yeah. So that kind of application is also possible. We used riders to get the surrounding data. And with that, we were able to guide the robot's path. And this we were able to make for our first customer, who was Toyota Industries. And they wanted this solution, a chip that could, you know,

self-propelled their self-guided vehicle into the robot. It's wild what they can do with everything nowadays, huh? So what do you see this technology becoming in the future? I'm seeing some things where it takes and measures human beings, their faces, their arms. Yeah, that's the pose of the human being, yeah. Could cities use this as like seeing how pedestrians are moving in their city or something like that? Yeah, so it can be used for crowd survey, you know, seeing anomalies in crowds.

You know, there could be some stress points that need to be observed. So instead of, you know, collecting all that data, AI can just sort out everything. And if it sees something that's out of the unusual, then it alerts the user. Otherwise, it just throws away the data. You don't have to store all that data. There you go. All right, anything more we need to know before we go out?

No, I think that site covers everything up. And yeah, I think there's been a lot of interest. So I hope your viewers will also be interested in this. And maybe we can send a response from you. There you go. Well, thank you very much, Hassan. We really appreciate it. Yeah, thank you so much.

Thank you. And thanks to my audience. Come check them out at the Japan Pavilion at Eureka Park at CS2023.
