Chip makers are threatening to scrap future US factories without generous tax breaks

Posted by in categories: computing, government, security

The world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers—Intel, Samsung, and the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC)—have all announced plans to build new chip factories in the US. Everyone is bragging about those plans: American lawmakers say bringing chip manufacturing back onto US soil will strengthen national security, while the chip makers, chastened by this year’s disastrous semiconductor shortage, are diversifying their supply chains to avoid future crises.

But there’s one problem: Who will pay?

Intel, Samsung, and TSMC have all threatened to pull the plug on their US factory plans unless government subsidies are on the table. Company executives claim that if they don’t get a rich package of incentives and tax breaks, they’ll build their semiconductor factories elsewhere, effectively ending American ambitions to return chip manufacturing to its shores after ceding the bulk of the market to Taiwan in the 1990s.

A Colorado Firm Claims It Can Triple the Power of Electric Engines

Posted by in categories: engineering, sustainability, transportation

The founding team at H3X have a compelling origin story. The three friends — Jason Sylvestre, Max Liben, and Eric Maciolek — formed a bond as they participarted in an engineering course regarding electric vehicles.

After their careers led them in separate directions, with each finding work in the tech and auto industries, a Department of Energy grant brought them back together to ponder how they could improve electric motors.

Their first-principles mindset and efforts have borne fruit in the form of a new electric motor that can potentially power large commercial flights.

Do You Trust Artificial Intelligence To Spend Your Media Dollars For You?

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

In the world of rampant data sharing, nefarious use of personal data and media manipulation, it is clear the lucrative ad tech market may not necessarily be ready for complete transformation. This post follows the introductory article entitled, Real-Time Bidding: The Ad Industry has Crossed a Very Serious Line. I had a chance to sit down with Dr. Augustine Fou, my collaborator on the article, and a seasoned marketer, who has “witnessed the entire arc of the evolution of digital marketing”. Dr. Fou currently helps marketers audit their digital campaigns for ad fraud and optimize campaigns based on accurate analytics.

Advertising has evolved tremendously in the last 20 years. The market for digital ads and the scale to which impressions are bought and sold across the ad exchanges has made the industry more efficient and more lucrative. Has advertising been truly transformed?

Interview With David Ryan Polgar: Imagine A Future Where Technology Is Developed With Humans In Mind

Posted by in categories: futurism, neuroscience

It seems insurmountable today. Digital consumption is rampant. Harms from misinformation to breaches to online bullying to manipulative targeting is spawning an environment of political and societal polarization, increased mental anxiety and even suicides. Without inadequate laws to regulate these digital services, the very rules and policies that have continued to govern the physical world are not able to keep pace with the speed of technology, and properly reflect what is happening in our digital spaces.

Can we have a future where creators of technology can build towards responsibility despite the constant allure of monetization and profits? I had a chance to speak to David Ryan Polgar, Founder & Director of the non-profit, All Tech Is Human (ATIH) to dive into discussing this critical juncture where heightened consumer awareness has the potential to drive a different story.

NovaSignal’s AI-Guided Robotic Platform Aims To Change The Diagnosis Of Stroke

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI

Los Angeles-based NovaSignal Inc. recently launched the second version of their artificial intelligence (AI)-a guided robotic platform for assessing cerebral blood flow in order to guide real-time diagnosis. The platform uses ultrasound to autonomously capture blood flow data, which then gets sent to their HIPAA-compliant cloud system so that clinicians can access the exam data from anywhere on their personal devices.

Founded in 2,013 the company states they have raised over… See more.

Gas Stations on Mars Could One Day Be a Reality

Posted by in categories: energy, space

Scientists are experimenting with technologies for creating rocket fuel on Mars. The studies could also help combat greenhouse gas emissions on Earth.

Humanity’s quest to set foot on Mars is one of its most ambitious and complex endeavors. Yet, despite all the innovative ideas and intricate technology this goal requires, we may be able to achieve it by improving what we already know how to do. A number of research projects attempt to figure out how to we can utilize the exis… See more.
