Walk through a warehouse in Georgia this week. Or a marathon route in China. Or a convenience store livestream. In each place, you might spot the same strange sight: a robot shaped roughly like a person, doing a job. Not a robot arm bolted to the floor. A machine with two legs, two arms, and … Read more
Your phone is warm in your pocket, and you haven’t even touched it for an hour. That’s not a fault. It’s the price of a chip that never really rests.

As a result, it gets annoying. However, if you look away from the flashy consumer gadgets and focus on health-tech, … Read more
Most people see generative AI as a novelty. They request it to send an email, summarize a document, or create a picture. These are the top-level applications, though. These are the surface-level applications, but that’s only a glimpse of what’s happening. The chatbot interfaces and swash-buckling demos lie beneath the hype, and researchers, doctors, engineers, … Read more
