All industries are facing a growing skills gap that is blocking them from effectively implementing artificial intelligence (AI), but this gap is deepest in the public sector, with 60% identifying a shortage of AI skills as their top implementation challenge, according to a study by Salesforce. In the US, federal government agencies are already being…
TSMC has been offering its System-on-Wafer integration technology, InFO-SoW, since 2020. For now, only Cerebras and Tesla have developed wafer scale processor designs using it, as while they have fantastic performance and power efficiency, wafer-scale processors are extremely complex to develop and produce. But TSMC believes that not only will wafer-scale designs ramp up in…

Optical connectivity – and especially silicon photonics – is expected to become a crucial technology to enable connectivity for next-generation datacenters, particularly those designed HPC applications. With ever-increasing bandwidth requirements needed to keep up with (and keep scaling out) system performance, copper signaling alone won’t be enough to keep up. To that end, several companies are developing…
The UK is highly vulnerable to misinformation and disinformation in the lead-up to a general election, according to a report from independent fact-checking charity Full Fact. Between gaps in the Online Safety Act and the growing accessibility of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools, the UK’s information environment requires fundamental legislative and regulatory changes to protect…
