Hope Hodge Seck  |  Studio GannettMore than a year after the Navy established its robotics warfare (RW) specialist rating, or job specialty, to manage its growing menagerie of small aerial drones and ground robots, the job field is thriving and growing — and other services are taking notice.That’s according to Master Chief Petty Officer Christopher Rambert, who helped create the rating and now manages it. Rambert, who began his career in the Navy as an aviation electrician’s mate, says he became aware of the need for a robotics specialty when his work expanded to flying drones for Naval Special Warfare Command.…

When Chris Wright is asked about the efficiency gains he hopes to extract from artificial intelligence, the chief information officer at food giant Nestlé is quick to discourage an extensive focus on bottom-line savings. “One of the big learnings we’ve had is don’t focus too much just on the efficiency” says Wright.  “We’re finding in the way we track our business cases that the biggest value is in buying better, or reducing energy in a factory, not only being more humanly efficient.” One pilot project that’s putting this viewpoint into practice is a generative AI assistant that can create fulfillment…

A hat looks like a hat from the side, but a flat disc from above. For humans, that’s obvious. For machine learning models trained on 2D images, it’s a fundamental breakdown. Phani Harish Wajjala, a Principal Machine Learning Engineer who leads Content Understanding for a large-scale avatar marketplace, spends his days solving exactly this kind of problem. His team builds the AI that determines what a 3D asset is, whether it violates platform policies, and how it should surface to users. In this interview, Phani breaks down for us why 3D computer vision remains harder than its 2D counterpart, how…

In today’s fast-changing tech world, businesses face a big choice: stick with old Web2 systems or jump into Web3. But what if you could do both? A lets companies mix the best of centralized and decentralized tech. This way, they cut risks while grabbing new chances, especially for AI needs.What Makes Web3 Different from Web2?Web2, born in the early 2000s, runs on big central servers owned by a few giant companies. These handle data storage, computing power, and user info. It works well but gives too much control to middlemen.Web3 flips this. It uses blockchain and peer-to-peer networks to spread…

At the beginning of the new year, the tech circle was once again set ablaze by a statement from Elon Musk: Neuralink announced the official launch of the mass – production process for “fully automated puncture” surgeries and promised to bring the surgical cost down to an extremely low price range. Those robotic arms that could only be seen in science – fiction movies may soon start implanting electrodes into the human brain with micron – level precision in a standardized manner. It seems that overnight, we’ve taken one more step closer to that cyberpunk world. Both the capital market…
