Walid Ali, artificial intelligence in manufacturing, Microsoft, joins Peggy again to talk more about AI (artificial intelligence) as it relates to manufacturing and sustainability.  He says the workforce has been drastically challenged with what has happened with COVID-19 now that we are facing a demand for efficiency increase, a demand for better productivity, and a demand for also scaling the workforce. He also discusses how the workforce is a foundational pillar in any digital transformation and how to empower them. This discussion really talks about the disruption and innovation that is creating new opportunities that are good for businesses looking ahead.

Changes coming to the transportation space in the next few decades include not only AVs (autonomous vehicles), but also an overhaul of the transportation paradigm. One way the transportation paradigm may change is a shift toward ridesharing, and many companies are working round-the-clock to develop and deploy autonomous rideshare solutions that will usher in this new era. One lingering question, however, is what the downstream effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will be on the transportation space as a whole. Will the pandemic slow down or even reverse the trend toward urbanization? Will it decelerate adoption trends for rideshare solutions?

The semiconductor space is experiencing upheaval. Demand for chips is high, and the industry is recovering from supply chain issues that plagued it during 2020. Internationally, China’s efforts to become a leader in the semiconductor space are putting pressure on other firms, but not in a good way. In the U.S., things are changing too. In July 2020, after former Intel CEO Bob Swan announced a product delay, Nvidia surpassed Intel as the largest chipmaker in the U.S. (according to market cap values) for the first time. Intel has spent a lot of time in the top spot, jockeying at times for the position with chipmakers like Qualcomm, which announced in January it would acquire chip startup Nuvia. Also in January, Intel replaced Bob Swan with Pat Gelsinger as CEO, supposedly after being pressured to do so.

Increasingly, the need to offer products and services based on up-to-date, or, in some cases, even realtime data is imperative in industries like manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and insurance. Analytics and AI (artificial intelligence) technologies offer a much more accurate and granular look at various metrics that help businesses make decisions about their products, services, and customers. In the insurance space, there’s a drive to adopt predictive analytics and data analytics that can enable more accurate customer experiences and reduce fraud. This is due not only to the big-picture trend toward digital transformation but also to the specific need to compete with insurtech startup firms. In many cases, these startups were founded on the premise of using these technologies to differentiate themselves from the “big dogs” in the space.

While much of the world is still talking about the deadly COVID-19 virus and all the effects of a global pandemic, the ITIF (Information Technology and Innovation Foundation) is persistently committed to spreading the word about a different kind of threat—not a health threat, but one that could stifle innovation in the U.S. technology sector and beyond. The ITIF’s latest report examines the impact of China’s mercantilist strategies on the global semiconductor industry. How worried should the tech space be about China’s efforts to, as the CSIS (Center for Strategic and Intl. Studies) puts it, “pursue semiconductor independence”? How are China’s state-directed efforts to vault into a leadership position in the semiconductor industry affecting Moore’s Law?

Of the many complementary technologies that enable IoT (internet of things) deployments, there are none quite as critical as the distributed architecture commonly known as edge computing. Technically, edge computing and its concepts are nothing new. In the 1960s, the Apollo missions that brought humanity to the moon relied on a distributed network of mainframes (see Figure 1). One was located in Houston and powered the console displays in the Apollo Mission Control Center. The others were positioned at antenna sites in California, Spain, and Australia. Even in those early days of computing there was a need to position compute resources closer to the source of the data, which is, essentially, the definition of edge computing.
