AI/ML consume power like it's an unlimited resource and it isn't. I feel a combination of power saving technologies on the semiconductor end and small modular nuclear power plants like we have in submarines and aircraft carriers will be the best answer to this current and coming challenge...
A submarine is one of the most complex weapons of war and to be autonomous the number of semiconductors involved in the numerous functions, especially in a submarine designed or warfare, must be extreme and of the latest generations. It is the military that drives much of innovation and with...
With the cost of computational power coming down in cost, size and power consumption more and more computational power will be moved to where it is used the most. It will also require ever increasing specialization of functions. Cost/benefit analysis across entire ecosystems will become the...
On CNBC this today, Apple is set to release their own AI effort at the next developers conference shortly. Any thoughts if this will be a significant development or just a small step. Their long relationship with TSM all but assures Apple has the resources to have the very best of the fabs to...
Intel's Guadi 3 is slated to get less than one percent market share. Pat will have to pull a rabbit out of Intel's hat to keep relevant in the AI race which has become critical to its future. Any thoughts on what Pat Gelsinger may do or even can do...
I have read many articles about optical computing and some versions have actually been built and new light conducting biomaterials look to hold promise. Any thoughts or comments either way would be greatly appreciated. This could hold the answer to heat and power problems. Also, what companies...
With AI/ML set to make large inroads in a large number of industries, what does the SemiWiki community feel the coming changes to the semiconductor industry will be in both timeline and scope? Could it possibly increase due to increased demand for automation in outside fields or fall due to...
Now that shrink is coming to an end, what are the best alternatives for improving performance? Layering, optical, faster speeds, different architectures, breaking inputs up for parallel processing? What companies will lead?

Organic electronics lead to new ways to sense light - Phys.org
I have read for a few years about optical computing, but have yet to see any commerical products, is this a viable technology or still a...
AI when compared to standard computing is actually lower cost and lower power when you look at the computing power delivered for the amount of power used and money spent. The us secretary of commerce said it's critical to get high end TSM fabs here in the US.
How to interface with the world of AI/ML will be a skill set itself, for AI/ML are advancing in almost all areas and endeavors. Advanced robotics and manufacturing advances in processes like 3D printing to name just a few are going to require massive changes in everything from education...
An east west conflict of large size would disrupt the world economy as a whole and even China would suffer as they would be cut off from western and southern markets. A major conflict would hurt all, sort of starting a hand grenade fight in a small room, all would suffer.
To fully realize the full potential of AI/ML ecosystems will have to be designed specifically to take advantage of the full potential of AI/ML. Systems set up this way will be able to realize the full potential of AI/ML. In the future there will be three totally distinct systems. One that is...
I have no doubt that this advance will be the first of a long line of advances ahead of us. The world has an increasing amount of collaboration, cooperation, communications and computational power to take on any challenge, we just have to learn to maximize it. No doubt formal, morphing...
Trust, integrity, skill set and execution are a very rare combination and hard to maintain at the leading edge. In these factors TSM has mastered for decades and is ingrained in their culture on top of a constant quest for excellence, which attracts top talent and allies.

The uses and applications of bioprinting I see as a growing and diverse market not only people, but any living thing with a range of applications that can only limited by the imagination. Bio printing combined with semis may change our very notion...

Is this a major advance or just another limited lab curiosity? Any thoughts or comments appreciated.
