become in applications like how many not just speech recognition or like google maps how many things do you think could use this to save people time like even in video games or something can neural engines be used for smarter gaming ai than we could do without them like do you think that is how we would scale it up eventually or so with neural engines and gaming ai like for like enemy characters um maybe if you're doing uh especially on like an iphone um or an ipad if you're playing a video game like so mobile gaming i could see that um i'm not familiar with specific types of tasks and algorithms and networks they usually use the cpu you know like yeah for the ai and they just basically have an if-then just you know decision tree for every person on screen i i can see the you know neural networks being used in video games in a lot of different contexts um you know even besides just the characters um and so it's i think it'll definitely be used to enhance um a lot of the different images and maybe uh prediction models and things like that um uh path planning things like that um and it will make an impact on the quality of the game if you can it's not a trick question you know it's not a trick question i'm literally asking because i don't know the way we program ai now can a neural engine be used for that or is it really used for different tasks but you're saying no it could and it could do it better than a cpu very specific tasks um right so most of it would still be done traditionally but then there'd be some tasks you would probably throw over to the neural engine exactly um no okay that's exactly what happens on our phones already um with like the yeah with like we have there's like a specific type of gpu in our phones and yeah that's exactly what would happen right and so this perfectly transitions into the next thing i want to bring up about this we kind of got ahead of ourselves but what are neural networks used for because when i talk to you before the show it start and the more i talk about it now like you're saying oh no we'll do you know video game ai the same way we do now it's just some of the tasks we'll throw over to the neural engine it'll do it more efficiently than a traditional cpu with a if they unstatement would you're saying that's basically everything neural engines are for is that most of the time you're still going to use a cpu or gpu most of the time that neural network isn't being used but when it can be used it can do it like what a hundred times faster and use less energy and that's why we're doing it right yeah and that's pretty much what it is neural networks are in a very narrow scope usually they do very specific inputs and very specific outputs and that's sort of at the heart of what they are and so you can use them in very specific contexts um and that is in video games and your iphone on your laptop and all kinds of you know maybe in uh you know self-driving cars there's very specific tasks that need to get done but it can't uh represent the general application that makes sense right and i think we talked about this too like why they're
