In this excellent Techstrong.ai videocast, Michael Vizard interviews our Christopher White, President of NEC Labs America, about #AI and its future. They discuss generative AI, its current hype, its potential impact on content creation and the augmentation of human abilities. Chris emphasizes that generative AI systems are not “thinking machines” but tools to enhance human capabilities. Chris highlights the need for a better fundamental understanding of AI systems and the shift toward “invisible AI” that optimizes and predicts individual needs. He advises organizations not to get overwhelmed by AI hype but to identify areas where AI can enhance their operations and business processes.

Eric Blow Presents at the IEEE Photonics Conference Singapore on November 10th & 13th
Eric Blow of NEC Labs will address how machine-learning methods applied to distributed acoustic-sensing data can monitor facility perimeters and detect intrusion via walk, dig, or drive events over buried optical fibre—for example achieving ~90% classification accuracy. Later in the week he will explore neuromorphic photonic RF sensing combining silicon photonics with FPGA-based recurrent neural networks, and his intern Yuxin Wang will present a finalist paper on scalable photonic neurons for automatic modulation classification.
