Sunny talks to Dr Claudia Lenk from the University of Ulm, whose group creates brain-inspired hearing systems with micromechanical hair cells. They discuss the advantages of the approach and how it can be applied to speech processing in AI. After the interview, discussion follows with Giulia and Ralph.
