AI/ML have the potential to compress the time and money needed for education, especially combined with virtual reality learning. Will special interests in the current system become a facilitator or a barrier to this trend and if so, will they be displaced and rendered obsolete? The current...
Individual responsibility is the first requirement for good health. Fortunately, we now have access to more information and tools to help us maintain our health. Good health, with rare exceptions is about personal choices, but we now have more information and tools at our disposal to give us...
Where do you think chip technology will go from here? Stacking different functions in a single chip may be the future with many surprises to come, never has the semi segment been static for long and there may be many surprises in the future, from technologies, cost, power consumption, memory...
With home monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, oxygen levels, sleep apnea other tests coming online how far will semis penetrate into home medical monitoring and maybe even advancing to control medical conditions? Is remote medical monitoring the next large semi market? Will...
It looks like TSM will become an even more dominant player after Intel continues to fall farther and farther behind. I think Samsung since they make their own products cannot compete. It looks like this leaves TSM as the sole source for many fab operations. I don't see any other source with...
Intel has fallen so far behind; its only hope is to compete with TSM where it is weak or doesn't compete at all. The semi market is growing in breadth and depth and competing head-to-head with TSM is impossible in the time frame needed. Any thoughts, comments or additions sought and welcome.

Any thoughts or opinions on the viability and economics of this process appreciated, will TSM take the lead in this technology as it has many others? Thanks
The range of weapons technology is making possible is only limited by the imagination. From software to hardware to social media disruption the range of conflict is increasing at an exponential rate.
With advanced technology sleeper weapons in land, sea, air and software will play a serious part in future warfare. Those who think outside the box will own it. Semis will be the key factor in all of this. Just imagine what software sleeper mines could do in any conflict and they could be...
Will the US become the leader in realizing the full potential of AI with both Nvidia and AMD leading AI/ML technology? Are there any other companies on the horizon that will even come close? What other countries are significant customers for AI/ML chips? Will other countries compete in the...
The real advantage of AI/ML is to the ability to run literally hundreds to thousands of options in a time frame no human will ever match. Those that don't learn to harvest and use AI/ML to their maximum potential will lose.
With US medical costing twenty cents of every dollar, AI/ML with automated robotics is our best hope of keeping up and staying ahead of China, which is automating already cheap medical at a rapid rate. If we don't do change and adapt our medical system, Chinese companies will win with a ten to...
Drones of all types, sizes, shapes and functions. There will be numerous types of "Sleeper Drones" that can be put into place for months or even years in advance and be activated when needed. Drones will be in land, sea, air and even space. Drones will vary in size between the smallest...
With the addition highly automated research labs coming to be, will AI/ML that works 24/7/365 be able to dominate cutting edge research by being able to speed up dramatically basic research not only by speed, but being able to operate 24/7/365? Some of this may be guided by humans but greatly...
AI/ML is going to allow for advanced robotics on a scale most haven't even dreamed of. From sensors to full AI/ML robotics will not only advance but learn and improve processes without human intervention. Also, people working with AI/ML/advanced storage will have numerous options given to them...
The power consumption of chip fabrication plants has climbed to a point this could be an Achilles Heal in the near future. It seems nuclear power may be the only answer. Any thoughts or comments on this appreciated.
The dead end of chips: Manufacturing semiconductors consumes as much energy as...
Dan, don't you feel advanced automation combined with AI/ML can reduce the amount of human labor required in almost everything reducing the need for people in an increasingly over populated world?
