The Future of Additive Manufacturing

From www.youtube.com - September 29, 2013 4:30 AM

Additive manufacturing promises to revolutionize the way we build things. Using new technologies like 3D printing and laser melting, traditional manufacturing processes, like forging, casting and machining, are being turned upside down.

 

With additive manufacturing complexity is free. We can now make lighter-weight, geometrically-optimized, metal parts that offer the same functionality as their traditionally machined counterparts, with little to no material waste

Nik Peachey's curator insight, January 8, 5:31 AM

The Oxford Rubric™ is proposed as a normative framework rather than a technical standard. Its purpose is not to rank AI systems, but to assess appropriateness of use in educational contexts. The framework is intentionally technology‑agnostic and future‑proofed, focusing on enduring educational values rather than transient tools.

Richard Platt's insight:

The US and Europe both need Rare Earth Minerals for their industrial bases, for the transition to green technology, and for their defence. But China controls the majority of the supply, from mining all the way through to the end-use stage. Beijing has begun to wield this strategic influence, raising questions about America and Europe's need and ability, and in this case, for the EU to find its own critical minerals. In this episode of Business Beyond, this video looks at how China conquered the market and asks if there is any way Europe can develop strategic independence.

2025 State of the U.S. Semiconductor Industry

2025 State of the U.S. Semiconductor Industry | Internet of Things - Technology focus | Scoop.it
From www.semiconductors.org - July 10, 2025 3:29 PM
Read more
Richard Platt's insight:

In 2025, semiconductors are not just components in consumer devices – they are the essential building blocks for the technologies shaping America’s future. From artificial intelligence and quantum computing to advanced communications networks and defense systems, chips are at the heart of the competition for global technology leadership in the 21st century.

American engineers invented semiconductors 65 years ago, and the U.S. semiconductor industry remains the global leader, commanding just over 50% of global chip revenues. But as competitors from around the world have sought to challenge U.S. leadership, America’s share of global chip manufacturing capacity was declining sharply – from 37% in 1990 to just 10% by 2022. If this trend were to continue, the U.S. semiconductor industry would risk falling back from the forefront of further advances in manufacturing processing technology, designs and architectures, and materials critical for developing the next generation of chips that will underpin the technologies of tomorrow.

This foundational technology is the hidden force driving modern innovation – and a testament to the wonder of advanced semiconductor research, design, and manufacturing.

Semiconductors are a marvel of modern technology and the foundation of our digital world. The chips powering modern smartphones contain more than 15 Billion transistors, each smaller than a virus and capable of switching on and off billions of times/second.

Semiconductors are the heart of today’s AI data centers can contain hundreds of billions of transistors, a number so high that if you counted one transistor per second, it would take more than 6,000 years to count all the transistors on a single chip.

EDTECH@UTRGV's curator insight, July 4, 2025 11:03 AM

"Paralinguistic voice analysis focuses on non-verbal elements of speech like tone, pitch, volume, pauses and rhythm that convey emotion, intention or attitude. While traditional voice recognition focused on transcribing spoken words, emotional AI adds a new layer: interpreting how those words are delivered. Today’s AI systems use deep learning to identify these paralinguistic features in real time."

El informe “A New Direction for Students in an AI World: Prosper, Prepare, Protect” (Brookings, 2026) analiza los efectos de la inteligencia artificial en la educación y advierte que, si se usa sin regulación y preparación adecuada, puede generar riesgos sobre el aprendizaje, la privacidad y la equidad. Propone tres pilares: Prosper, para enriquecer el aprendizaje sin sustituir el pensamiento; Prepare, para fortalecer la alfabetización en IA y la formación docente; y Protect, para garantizar la seguridad y el bienestar estudiantil. Críticamente, aunque ofrece un marco útil, el informe enfatiza los riesgos más que los beneficios potenciales, y sugiere que la integración efectiva de IA requiere evidencia empírica, formación docente y adaptación curricular.

Built to Lead, Afraid to Risk: The Strategic Rot Inside Intel 

From medium.com - May 6, 2025 11:07 PM
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been on a bit of a risk kick. I’ve been reading books on how risk plays out at the operational and financial level, and one thing keeps sticking out, Intel feels like…
Read more
Richard Platt's insight:

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when the decline started. Like most corporate failures, it didn’t happen all at once, it rolled in slowly, one missed step at a time. Intel’s fall traces back to a series of leadership missteps culminating in one of the most consequential fumbles in tech history: missing the mobile market. Intel had a front-row seat to the iPhone revolution. Apple came to them 1st, Ottelini passed, believing the volumes weren’t worth it.  The mobile shift was already in motion Intel ignored it. It was a failure of strategic judgment. The current leadership reflects this today, not with accountability, but with rationalization. No sense of ownership, no clear admission that the call was wrong. Just soft hindsight and shrugged shoulders. That’s not leadership. That’s deflection. - Intel never had a financial problem (before) they had a risk management problem specifically, in its leadership class. Otellini, came from an economics background, but Intel is famed for being run by engineers.  There was the Intel Atom, which flopped in mobile; the QLogic Ethernet acquisition, which they let wither; and the infamous Arizona fab , a billion-dollar facility shuttered before it ever opened. These aren’t the moves of a cautious company they’re the missteps of a leadership team stuck between 2 identities.  

 

If Intel truly wants to minimize risk, it should lean into its strengths as a front-line innovative manufacturer, becoming a world-class foundry.

The problem is identity. Intel still sees itself as the architect of x86 dominance. Those days are past. This crap self-image is increasingly out of step with market reality. They don’t want to supply the stars, they still think they are one. Intel is going to be almost entirely dependent on what they do over the next 12–18 months. Long-term success means pivoting away from designing in-house chips and becoming a one-stop manufacturing hub for the broader market. Intel as a household name began to fade when people stopped using home computers and started paying their bills from their phones. That consumer relevance is gone. But there’s still value Intel can bring specifically, as a world-class foundry with capabilities TSMC can’t easily match. Intel can step in as the alternative, with manufacturing sites across Oregon, Ireland, and soon Germany. If TSMC’s capacity maxes out, or its economics falter, Intel can capture share. And then there’s compliance. Intel’s deep ties to U.S. regulators and defense contractors make it uniquely positioned to maintain ITAR compliance something that could become critical in an increasingly digitized military landscape. Intel says it wants to build the next great global foundry. But right now, its customer list reads more like an internal memo than a marketplace. I’ll be more optimistic when Intel’s foundry serves more external partners than internal product lines.
