Jun 1200:41:39Tap 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.
