As solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles and other distributed energy resources reshape electricity networks, utilities are facing a new computing problem: critical grid decisions increasingly need to happen closer to where electricity is generated and consumed. Landis+Gyr is expanding its answer to that challenge in Australia, adding Future Grid and Operational Technology Solutions (OTS) to…
Healthcare AI is moving into a more demanding phase. The challenge is no longer simply whether artificial intelligence can identify patterns in medical data, generate clinical documentation or accelerate research. The harder question is whether those capabilities can be deployed safely and reliably across hospitals, laboratories and patient-care systems. That transition was a central theme…
Artificial intelligence is making it easier for consumer brands to generate product concepts, images and variations. The harder problem is deciding which of those ideas should actually become products. VibeIQ is betting that this gap represents a new category of enterprise software, announcing $22.5 million in growth financing led by Volition Capital, with participation from…
Artificial intelligence is moving into the classroom faster than many schools can establish a consensus on how it should be used. A new national survey suggests parents are not rejecting that shift. Instead, they appear to be drawing a line between AI that helps individual students learn and technology that simply puts more screens between…
The race to build infrastructure for agentic AI is extending below GPUs, CPUs and networking into a less visible but essential layer: firmware. Insyde Software says its InsydeH2O UEFI firmware has been qualified on Arm AGI CPU reference platforms, while its Supervyse OpenBMC firmware is ready for Arm AGI CPU-based AI server racks, giving system…
Faraday Future is expanding beyond electric vehicles with a broader bet on Embodied AI, combining robotics, remote operation and multi-robot coordination into an infrastructure platform designed for industrial, security, inspection and education applications. The company says its latest developments include a universal beyond-line-of-sight teleoperation platform and new capabilities for coordinating heterogeneous robot fleets. Faraday Future’s…
The race to commercialize autonomous vehicles is increasingly moving beyond the vehicle itself. Moove has raised $250 million in Series C funding at a $2.1 billion valuation, backed by Mubadala Investment Company, Woven Capital and other institutional investors, as it builds the fleets, charging infrastructure and operational systems needed to keep autonomous vehicles running continuously….
As AI agents move from experimental chatbots toward systems capable of reasoning, calling tools and maintaining context across long-running tasks, the infrastructure beneath them is changing too. Silicon Motion is betting that enterprise SSDs will play a more active role in that architecture with a new reference design aimed at turning flash storage into a…
Artificial intelligence is making it easier than ever to search for jobs, generate applications and automate parts of the recruiting process. But as applicant volumes, AI-assisted job searches and concerns about candidate authenticity reshape talent acquisition, one of the oldest sourcing channels is gaining renewed relevance: employee referrals. Recruiting technology is entering an awkward phase…
