Is This the First Video Podcast with an AI Co-Host?

Things are moving at breakneck speed in artificial intelligence (AI) space (where no one can hear you scream). For example, I’ve just been introduced to Sophie the Sage, who is the AI co-host of a video podcast.

Now, you may think “Sophie the Sage” is a strange sobriquet, but my own online moniker is “Max the Magnificent,” so I’m in no … Read More → "Is This the First Video Podcast with an AI Co-Host?"

Machine Vision, Robotics, Industrial Applications? There’s an SOM for That!

I’ve heard it said that “60 is the new 40,” which means that people in their 60s today are often as active, healthy, and youthful as people in their 40s used to be in previous generations. This must be true because, a few days ago, as I pen these words, I celebrated the 47th anniversary of my 21st birthday, and I don’t feel a day over… I’ … Read More → "Machine Vision, Robotics, Industrial Applications?

Next Gen VITA 100: A Giant Leap for Interconnects

This week longtime friend of the show Mike Walmsley from TE Connectivity joins me to talk all about VITA 100. We chat about the objectives of this new standard, why VITA 100 reflects a big leap forward for signal integrity, and where VITA 100 is headed in the future. Also this week, I check out new contact lenses that allow people to see in the dark, even with their … Read More → "Next Gen VITA 100: A Giant Leap for Interconnects"

EYEO’s Eye-Opening Image Sensor Technology

Today’s image sensors—the ones used in digital photography, surveillance, and machine vision—are amazing, awesome, and [insert your favorite superlative here]. Even more remarkable is the fact that they achieve all this while effectively “throwing away” around 70% of the incoming light. Can you imagine how much more amazing, awesome, and [your superlative here] they could be if they used 100% of the light instead? Well, now … Read More → "EYEO’s Eye-Opening Image Sensor Technology"

Will We Soon Say, “CMOS Sensors Drool, SPAD Sensors Rule”?

We may think that today’s artificial intelligence (AI), especially Generative AI (GenAI) like ChatGPT, is terrific, but I’m informed that “We ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” I’m also informed that the “next big thing” in AI will be centered on images and video, specifically machine vision. However, today’s cameras, which were designed for humans, not computers, are still far from the point … Read More → "Will We Soon Say, “CMOS Sensors Drool, SPAD Sensors Rule”?"

Scaling Up and Scaling Out: Reimagining Silicon Switching for the AI Era

This has been another “one of those days.” I’ve been discovering all sorts of things pertaining to what’s currently happening in the high-end of artificial intelligence (AI) space (where no one can hear you scream), and now I’m screaming inside and my head hurts. 

Let’s start with the concept of an “AI Pod.” This term … Read More → "Scaling Up and Scaling Out: Reimagining Silicon Switching for the AI Era"
