AI Data Centers And Auto Industry Converge On Same Issues
By Liz Allan - 02 Jul, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: AI data centers need power from a range of sources, including batteries, to safeguard against blackouts, transient voltage spikes, and grid demand spikes. As with regenerative braking and bidirectional charging in electric vehicles, data centers could feed power or heat back into the grid for public use, but the immediate goal is to disrupt the grid as little as possible.... » read more

Defending Against AI-Enabled Data Fusion
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Jul, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways:  By fusing vast amounts of white-, gray-, and black-market data, attackers can build a digital twin of a person and their environment, making targeted attacks far easier. The intersection of AI and cybersecurity is the data itself. Trustworthy fusion depends on authenticated, integrity‑checked inputs and verifiable, attributable AI outputs. Defending against AI-enab... » read more

Fine-Tuning Humanoid Vision And Movement
By Liz Allan - 02 Jul, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: Humanoids and autonomous vehicles share a zonal architecture, a need for FuSa, and a reliance on radar technology to see around corners and through objects. Multiple cameras with different fidelities can better replicate a human’s field of view; for example, some can provide wide fields of view at low grade, low fidelity, while others strive for infinite fidelity in a... » read more

Wi-Fi Flies Higher As Edge AI Build-Out Takes Root
By Ed Sperling - 15 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: Wi-Fi 7 is becoming an essential technology for edge AI, and subequent demands for even better reliability will grow as the edge build-out takes shape. Edge computing is based on the assumption that more data will be processed and stored locally, which will help reduce data leakage and theft. The big challenge ahead will be orchestrating data movement across different ... » read more

Orbital Data Centers Are Souped-Up Satellites – For Now
By Liz Allan - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: Today’s orbital data centers are better described as compute centers in space, as they resemble satellite constellations more than terrestrial data centers. The most common power solution is sun-synchronous solar at the poles, but this requires a multi-hop data relay from power-hungry compute to standard satellite constellations in the low-orbit mesh, then to Earth. ... » read more

Keeping Security Algorithms Current Is Getting Harder
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: Keeping security algorithms current is now a lifecycle challenge that spans chip design, manufacturing, deployment, and long-term maintenance across the supply chain. To stay ahead of emerging threats — especially post-quantum risks — hardware must be built with cryptographic agility, secure roots of trust, and reliable update mechanisms from the start. The biggest... » read more

AI-Defined Vehicles Increase Pressure On Auto Ethernet Reliability
By Liz Allan - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: For AI-defined vehicles and onboard agentic AI, Automotive Ethernet provides high bandwidth for sensor data fusion, TSN ensures low latency and synchronization for real-time decisions, and MACsec secures the data link. Time-sensitive networking (TSN) is an essential protocol for ensuring 10BASE-T1S delivers data to where it needs to go on time. Still, it becomes less esse... » read more

Building AI Without Guardrails
By Ann Mutschler - 07 May, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: AI governance is broadly recognized as essential, but today it remains fragmented, largely aspirational, and lacking enforceable mechanisms for accountability, runtime assurance, and global interoperability. Because AI innovation is advancing too quickly for governments or standards bodies to keep pace, practical AI governance is most likely to emerge first from high‑ri... » read more

Humanoid Touch And Voice Are Improving Rapidly
By Liz Allan - 07 May, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways Humanoid robots are rapidly expanding beyond factories and logistics toward broader, general-purpose roles (including in-home assistance), driven by advances in AI and sensing. Compared with vision and language, touch (haptics) and hearing/voice in real environments remain the hardest — and most commercially important — sensing challenges, requiring fast sensor fusion ... » read more

Next-Gen Batteries Require Impedance Data And Active Balancing
By Liz Allan - 07 May, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways Electric vehicles and energy storage systems using LFP batteries require more sophisticated diagnostic methods because they exhibit very flat cell voltages across various charge levels, making it harder to estimate usable energy. Battery management systems are leveraging new components, AI/ML, digital twins, and other techniques to get more accurate, real-time data, includ... » read more
