Podcast: The Playbook With David Meltzer

Description: In today’s episode, I sit down with entrepreneur Charles Schoenhoeft, CEO of Neural AI, to talk about a brain-like approach to computing that changes how data is sensed, processed, and acted on. We break down neuromorphic technology, including a neural “nose” that treats smell as usable data, and why parallel processing on hardware matters for speed, energy use, and real-world applications. Charles explains how this technology works at the edge without relying on the cloud, why it fits the future of data centers, and how it applies to robotics, vision, big data, weather forecasting, and pattern recognition in finance. We also touch on scaling the business globally and preparing these systems for market.
