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…
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.

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.

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.

"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.

The widespread investment in AI furthers economists’ optimism about a “roaring 20’s” of worker productivity on the horizon. However, this will not take place in health care without accompanying systemic and organizational actions that rethink what we financially incentivize, how we integrate new technologies, how we shift tasks, and how we prepare the workforce.
Two years ago, every health conference I attended had multiple panels on clinician burnout. The problem is well known, and the actual system-level contributors have been called out. In the last year, the solution to burnout is splashed on every conference app log-in screen: generative artificial intelligence (AI).
The AI scribe revolution In health care, ambient documentation tools have become the star of the show. These “AI scribes” listen to the patient-physician conversation, transcribe the discussion, and then use generative AI to create a first draft clinical note. These solutions remove the laborious work of fully capturing the patient’s story or the physician’s thoughts about the plan. This technology is seen by some as a miracle. Before large language model chat applications were popularized, many physicians did not think such solutions were possible during our careers.
Conflicting visions for AI’s impact Organizational leaders are stoked about the future AI can potentially create. There are endless administrative inefficiencies that affect patient care or inflate costs.
Frontline clinicians are still quite wary. Their concerns stem from the technology itself and also from what organizational or system leaders will do with the new efficiencies gained from the deployment of such technology. Those next steps – the policy changes and operational actions that follow broad AI scribe implementations — are the critical pieces that will determine its success.
Will organizations simply continue to add more patients and more tasks to physicians’ plates? Will we slot generative AI solutions into existing clinic processes that may not serve clinicians’ ideal workflow? Will we integrate these generative AI tools into EHR systems that do not support physicians’ thought patterns or desired storytelling purposes?

The theft of trade secrets is attractive because it allows countries to "leapfrog up global value chains relatively quickly - and without the costs, both in terms of time and money, of relying completely on indigenous capabilities", Nick Marro of the Economist Intelligence Unit. In July 2022 FBI director Christopher Wray told London business leaders and academics that China aimed to "ransack" the intellectual property (IP) of Western companies so it can speed up its own industrial development and eventually dominate key industries. Warning that it was snooping on companies everywhere "from big cities to small towns - from Fortune 100s to start-ups, folks that focus on everything from aviation, to AI, to pharma". The FBI's Alan Kohler Jr said China was targeting "American ingenuity" and seeking to "topple our status" as global leader. China has also gained expertise by making foreign companies hand over technology under joint venture agreements in exchange for access to the Chinese market. According to Ray Wang, founder and CEO of Silicon Valley-based consultancy Constellation Research, they include pharmaceutical development and nanotechnology - engineering and technology conducted at the nanoscale for use in areas such as medicine, textiles and fabrics and automobiles, and includes pharmaceuticals, bioengineering - mimicking biological processes for purposes such as the development of biocompatible prostheses and regenerative tissue growth. Mr Wang cited an anecdote by a former head of R&D for a Fortune 100 company, who told him that "the person he entrusted the most" - someone so close that their children grew up together - was eventually found to be on the payroll of the Chinese Communist Party. "He kindly explained to me that the spies are everywhere," he said.
