Lightmatter CEO: AI's Next Scaling Challenge Is Interconnect, Not Compute
4d ago00:26:20Tap to summarizeIn this podcast, Sally chats with Lightmatter CEO Nick Harris. As copper reaches its physical limits, Harris explains why photonics is moving from niche technology to AI infrastructure necessity, and why Lightmatter is expanding from optical interconnects into lasers to build the next generation of AI systems.
Transcribe →Why AI Needs to Move Beyond the Kernel
3w ago00:41:39Tap to summarizeIn this podcast, Lemurian Labs CEO Jay Dawani explains why system-level compilation, not faster chips alone, may determine the future of AI infrastructure.
Transcribe →Can Hardware Reconfigure Itself in Real Time? NextSilicon’s Adaptive Compute
May 2200:42:08Tap to summarizeWhat if hardware adapted itself to your code instead of forcing developers to optimize for the hardware? In this episode of AI with Sally, Sally Ward-Foxton speaks with NextSilicon CEO Elad Raz about the company’s radically different approach to compute architecture: a runtime-reconfigurable processor designed to optimize itself while applications are running.
Transcribe →Redefining Touch HMI to Optimize Form Factor in Smart Glasses
Apr 2400:20:50Tap to summarizeToday, on Embedded Edge with Nitin, we’ll explore how advances in touch-based HMI can help optimize the form factor of smart glasses. Our guest is Viveesh Bharathan, Director of Product Marketing at Infineon Technologies. Viveesh specializes in touch HMI, a key technology that shapes how users interact with and experience smart glasses.In this episode, we’ll examine why touch interfaces play such a pivotal role in smart glasses design, what is changing in the underlying technology, and how these developments can enable slimmer, more practical form factors.
Transcribe →RISC-V: From Experimentation to Execution
Apr 1000:47:58Tap to summarizeAfter years of hype, RISC-V is hitting a moment of truth. In 2025 we’ve moved from experimentation to execution – we’ve seen big players make some bold acquisitions, while startups on the scene have been facing commercial realities.The question is really shifting from “What is RISC-V?” to “Who can actually make it work?” In this episode, we explore what’s driving that transition to execution, and what it means for AI applications.
