What will the enterprise of the future actually look like, and which technologies deserve attention beyond the hype cycle? In today's episode, I sit down with Yaad Oren, Global Head of SAP Research & Innovation and Managing Director of SAP Labs US, for a fascinating conversation about the technologies that could shape business over the next decade. Leading SAP's global research and innovation efforts, Yaad works at the intersection of academia, startups, venture capital, and enterprise technology, identifying emerging technologies before they reach the mainstream. His team explores everything from next-generation AI and voice interfaces to quantum computing, robotics, future data platforms, and new cloud architectures. We discuss why voice AI could become the primary interface for enterprise software, allowing employees to interact with business systems as naturally as they would with a colleague. Yaad also explains how quantum computing is already showing promise in complex supply chain optimization challenges and why robotics is moving beyond manufacturing floors into logistics, inspection, hospitality, and customer-facing environments. The conversation also explores one of the less talked about drivers of innovation: the role universities play in shaping the technologies businesses will eventually depend on. Yaad shares how SAP works closely with academic institutions around the world to identify breakthroughs while they are still emerging from research labs, long before they become commercial products. We also discuss SAP's vision for the autonomous enterprise, where AI assistants orchestrate teams of specialized agents across finance, supply chain, sales, and operations. Rather than replacing decision-makers, these systems are designed to automate routine work and allow people to focus on higher-value activities. Perhaps most importantly, Yaad offers practical advice for business leaders trying to prepare for the next wave of innovation without chasing every trend. His message is clear: build a strong data foundation, stay informed about emerging technologies, and create a culture that is willing to experiment. If you've ever wondered what technologies might shape enterprise software five to ten years from now, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the research, partnerships, and ideas that are already influencing that future. What emerging technology do you believe will have the biggest impact on your industry over the next decade? Share your thoughts and join the conversation.
Artificial intelligence and robotic surgery are no longer "future medicine" — they're already changing the way physicians diagnose, operate, and care for patients. In this episode of Confessions of a Male Gynecologist, Dr. Shawn Tassone sits down with Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, a gynecologic oncologist, to discuss how AI, robotics, genetic testing, and personalized medicine are transforming women's healthcare — especially in gynecologic oncology. From the evolution of robotic surgery to the growing role of AI in pathology, diagnostics, and cancer detection, this conversation breaks down what these advancements mean for both physicians and patients. Dr. Tassone and Dr. Kumar explore the benefits, limitations, and future possibilities of technology in medicine, while also asking the bigger question: how do we use innovation without losing the human side of healthcare? This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of medicine, women's health, cancer care, and how emerging technology may change the patient experience. In This Episode, We Cover: How AI is already impacting healthcare and surgical decision-making The evolution of robotic surgery in gynecology and oncology Why robotics changed the way many gynecologic surgeries are performed The role of AI in diagnostics, pathology, and cancer detection How genetic testing is shaping personalized medicine What patients should understand about technology in modern medicine The benefits and limitations of artificial intelligence in healthcare The future of gynecologic oncology and patient-centered care Why technology should support physicians — not replace them How innovation may improve outcomes, efficiency, and precision in medicine Connect with Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Media Profile | https://www.guestsonair.com/profile/dr-sanjeev-kumar LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjeev-kumar-md-34781a84/ Website | https://www.drsanjeevkumarsurgeon.com/ About Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Dr. Sanjeev Kumar is a gynecologic oncologist and robotic pelvic surgeon whose career has been defined by technical excellence, intellectual rigor, and a clear sense of purpose. Born in India, he completed medical school there, went on to train in England and Wales through the MRCS, and later continued his surgical education in the United States, ultimately building a career that placed him among the country's leading figures in robotic pelvic surgery. That path reflects a career shaped by discipline, international training, and an enduring commitment to surgical mastery. His work sits at the intersection of some of the most demanding questions in medicine: women's cancers, advanced pelvic surgery, and the evolving role of robotics and AI in the operating room. He entered robotic surgery in 2006, early enough to help shape the field rather than merely follow it, and in 2017 was reported as the eighth busiest robotic pelvic surgeon in the United States by volume. That distinction matters not as a statistic, but as evidence of depth, repetition, and mastery in one of surgery's most exacting specialties.

What AI Robotics Demos Don't Show: The Missing Piece in AI Robotics Sat down with Phil Trubey to talk neuromorphic chips and the holy grail of AI robotics.
Autrefois assignés à des tâches répétitives en milieu industriel, les robots deviennent capables, grâce aux avancées en intelligence artificielle de percevoir, d'adapter leurs gestes et d'interagir avec leur environnement. Déjà présente dans de nombreux secteurs industriels, la robotique entre dans une nouvelle phase grâce à l'IA, avec des perspectives concrètes pour l'industrie, la santé et l'assistance aux personnes. Ces progrès ouvrent des perspectives pour sécuriser des interventions dangereuses pour les humains ou automatiser certaines opérations exigeantes. Pour autant, même des gestes qui nous semblent élémentaires - comme saisir un verre - demeurent des défis techniques majeurs, révélant l'écart entre l'apparente simplicité de nos actions et la réalité de l'ingénierie robotique.Dans cet épisode d'Écoutons le Futur, nos invités analysent cette évolution : de l'histoire de la robotique industrielle à l'émergence de nouvelles capacités techniques, des différences culturelles dans la perception des machines, jusqu'aux enjeux concrets de déploiement dans l'industrie. Ils abordent également les questions de responsabilité juridique, les défis de cybersécurité et de gouvernance des données ainsi que l'importance du cadre éthique qu'il reste à structurer pour une adoption maîtrisée de ces systèmesPrésents sur notre plateau :- Philippe Dewost, Président chez Phileos- Olivier Parent, Directeur des études chez Comptoir Prospectiviste- Nizar Ouarti, Chef de l'équipe Asimov du laboratoire ISIR - Alexandre Embry, Directeur associé chez Capgemini en charge de l'AI Robotics & Experiences Lab chez CapgeminiUne émission animée par Valère Corréard

HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd (TSX-V:HIVE, NASDAQ:HIVE, FRA:YO0, BVC:HIVECO) President & CEO Aydin Kilic talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's expansion into AI-powered robotics and the growth of its global GPU cloud infrastructure. Kilic discussed HIVE's collaboration with AMC Robotics, a company developing security-focused robotic dogs powered by advanced AI vision systems. The partnership highlights how HIVE's GPU cloud infrastructure can support complex video processing requirements for moving robotic cameras. The CEO explained that the company has been steadily expanding its GPU and cloud offerings over the past three years. A recent milestone includes a two-year contract valued at $30 million for 504 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, which contributes $15 million in annual run-rate revenue. As a result, HIVE Digital Technologies has increased its annual run-rate revenue from $20 million to $35 million. Kilic said the robotics partnership demonstrates the growing demand for high-performance computing in real-world AI applications. He noted that mobile robotics require significantly more computing power than traditional stationary camera systems because moving cameras continuously change their field of view. “You are seeing AI powered robotics where that level of information processing allows robots to be autonomous or just have better mobility navigating obstacles and being more effective in the field,” Kilic said. Looking ahead, HIVE Digital Technologies plans to scale its GPU cloud infrastructure and build additional Tier 3 data centers as part of its sovereign compute strategy. The company is targeting significant growth in high-performance computing revenue and expects more enterprise partnerships as AI adoption accelerates. For HIVE Digital Technologies, the collaboration with AMC Robotics represents a practical example of how AI infrastructure can power emerging technologies in security, logistics and industrial applications.

This episode kicks off with a look at the unconventional path of Steve Goodgame, whose journey from agriculture to the Executive Director of the KISS Institute for Practical Robotics (KIPR) proves that the best tech leaders often come from diverse backgrounds. Steve and Ashley discuss the fundamental shift needed in STEM: moving away from "Lego-style" instruction manuals and toward Inquiry-Based Learning. At KIPR, the goal isn't just to build a robot; it's to build a problem-solver who can handle the frustration of a failing sensor or a bug in the code. The heart of the technical discussion centers on Botball, KIPR's flagship program. For the tech crowd, the "hook" here is autonomy. Unlike typical RC-style competitions, Botball robots are fully autonomous, requiring students to write sophisticated code in C, C++, or Java. Steve explains how this creates a high-stakes environment where the robot must "think" for itself on the game board. They also touch on the Junior Botball Challenge, which scales these complex engineering concepts down for younger students without losing the technical rigor. As the conversation turns toward the future, Ashley and Steve tackle the "elephant in the room": Generative AI. They explore how AI is being integrated into the KIPR ecosystem, not as a way to "cheat," but as a high-level tutor that helps students debug embedded systems and refine their logic. This leads into a preview of the 2026 "Stack Attack" season and the upcoming Global Conference on Educational Robotics (GCER) in Norman, Oklahoma. Whether you are a developer, an educator, or a tech enthusiast, this episode is a masterclass in how we can use robotics to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world execution.

CES 2026 Just Showed Us the Future. It's More Practical Than You Think.CES has always been part crystal ball, part carnival. But something shifted this year.I caught up with Brian Comiskey—Senior Director of Innovation and Trends at CTA and a futurist by trade—days after 148,000 people walked the Las Vegas floor. What he described wasn't the usual parade of flashy prototypes destined for tech graveyards. This was different. This was technology getting serious about actually being useful.Three mega trends defined the show: intelligent transformation, longevity, and engineering tomorrow. Fancy terms, but they translate to something concrete: AI that works, health tech that extends lives, and innovations that move us, power us, and feed us. Not technology for its own sake. Technology with a job to do.The AI conversation has matured. A year ago, generative AI was the headline—impressive demos, uncertain applications. Now the use cases are landing. Industrial AI is optimizing factory operations through digital twins. Agentic AI is handling enterprise workflows autonomously. And physical AI—robotics—is getting genuinely capable. Brian pointed to robotic vacuums that now have arms, wash floors, and mop. Not revolutionary in isolation, but symbolic of something larger: AI escaping the screen and entering the physical world.Humanoid robots took a visible leap. Companies like Sharpa and Real Hand showcased machines folding laundry, picking up papers, playing ping pong. The movement is becoming fluid, dexterous, human-like. LG even introduced a consumer-facing humanoid. We're past the novelty phase. The question now is integration—how these machines will collaborate, cowork, and coexist with humans.Then there's energy—the quiet enabler hiding behind the AI headlines.Korea Hydro Nuclear Power demonstrated small modular reactors. Next-generation nuclear that could cleanly power cities with minimal waste. A company called Flint Paper Battery showcased recyclable batteries using zinc instead of lithium and cobalt. These aren't sexy announcements. They're foundational.Brian framed it well: AI demands energy. Quantum computing demands energy. The future demands energy. Without solving that equation, everything else stalls. The good news? AI itself is being deployed for grid modernization, load balancing, and optimizing renewable cycles. The technologies aren't competing—they're converging.Quantum made the leap from theory to presence. CES launched a new area called Foundry this year, featuring innovations from D-Wave and Quantum Computing Inc. Brian still sees quantum as a 2030s defining technology, but we're in the back half of the 2020s now. The runway is shorter than we thought.His predictions for 2026: quantum goes more mainstream, humanoid robotics moves beyond enterprise into consumer markets, and space technologies start playing a bigger role in connectivity and research. The threads are weaving together.Technology conversations often drift toward dystopia—job displacement, surveillance, environmental cost. Brian sees it differently. The convergence of AI, quantum, and clean energy could push things toward something better. The pieces exist. The question is whether we assemble them wisely.CES is a snapshot. One moment in the relentless march. But this year's snapshot suggests technology is entering a phase where substance wins over spectacle.That's a future worth watching.This episode is part of the Redefining Society and Technology podcast's CES 2026 coverage.

David Jiang, CEO of VITURE, joins Charlie, Ted, and Rony for a special Black Friday episode to discuss the breakout year for "display glasses" and why his company is betting on gamers, not just enterprise, to drive mass adoption. With VITURE now hitting shelves at Best Buy and flashing on billboards along Silicon Valley's Highway 101, Jiang reveals the data behind the device's surprising "stickiness"—average daily users are logging nearly three hours a day, often to play console games in bed or on the couch to avoid "social pressure" from family over occupying the main TV.The conversation dives deep into the hardware reality check: why David believes "smart glasses" (like Meta Ray-Bans) and high-fidelity "display glasses" (like VITURE/XREAL) won't merge into a single device for another decade. He breaks down the physics of weight thresholds—40g for all-day wear, 80g for session-based viewing, and 200g for full headsets—and explains why trying to force high-end compute into a Ray-Ban form factor today is a fool's errand.

What if the key to creating cleaner, faster, and more efficient cities isn't building new infrastructure, but rethinking how we move what we already have? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Richard Savoie, co-founder of Adiona, whose AI-powered logistics platform is transforming how goods travel through urban environments. Richard's background as a patent-holding engineer and mentor in the medical device field gives him a unique perspective on precision, quality, and human-centered design. At Adiona, he applies that same discipline to logistics, helping delivery networks run smarter, leaner, and more sustainably. His FlexOps platform uses AI to optimise routes, model EV fleet conversions, and create digital twins of operations so companies can reduce emissions and increase efficiency—without replacing the people who make it all work. In our conversation, Richard shares why he believes in a humanistic approach to AI that empowers drivers, dispatchers, and warehouse workers instead of automating them out of existence. We also explore how Adiona's scenario modelling helps global brands like Coca-Cola and Australia Post cut costs while meeting 2030 sustainability goals, and what the future might hold as AI and robotics begin to converge for last-meter delivery. So, could the next big sustainability breakthrough come from reimagining the routes that already exist? And how might AI reshape the logistics networks that keep our world moving? I'd love to hear your thoughts after listening.
In this episode, Ryan dives deep into what's happening behind the scenes at his garage door company, the tech he's rolling out, and why the future of home services might not include people at all. Recorded just after the FieldPulse launch, he reflects on the rollout process, what went right, what went wrong, and how it's transforming how his team operates—especially with automation, ClearPath workflows, and vendor communication all dialed in.He opens up about making bold moves, like hiring an EA from Mexico, investing in AI masterminds, and taking more risks than ever before. Ryan explains how AI is no longer optional—it's essential. From automating SOPs and field service workflows to building customer-facing bots that can communicate like humans, he's already deploying tech that most of the industry isn't even thinking about yet.This episode also explores why GoHighLevel might be the most future-proof software in marketing automation, what it's like leaving ServiceTitan, and how tools like SureWinder save companies thousands by preventing injuries. Ryan discusses the concept of “software is dead” and why custom AI-driven tools are the next wave of operational efficiency.He doesn't shy away from the controversial stuff either—like his belief that robotics will soon replace labor in garage doors, especially with Tesla's Optimus entering the market. And he offers a powerful challenge to business owners: Are you resisting AI because it's hard, or because it's new?You'll also hear updates on Aaron Overhead Doors' rebrand, marketing strategies for lean overhead, and insights on how to plan your schedule around what actually works for you, not what looks good on paper. Plus, Ryan gives a shoutout to Chamberlain's upcoming AI-powered camera tech and why smart integrations are going to matter more than ever.This episode is packed with ideas, predictions, and tough love. If you're in home services and not paying attention to tech shifts in AI, robotics, and automation—you might already be behind.Find Ryan at:https://garagedooru.comhttps://aaronoverheaddoors.comhttps://markinuity.com/Check out our sponsors!Sommer USA - http://sommer-usa.comSurewinder - https://surewinder.comStealth Hardware - https://quietmydoor.com/

Michael Dempsey is the Managing Partner at Compound, a thesis-driven, research-centric investment firm.We spent two hours talking through the past, present, and future of a bunch of topics in technology and investing.Michael started investing in AI in 2016. He was the first investor in now-unicorns Runway and Wayve. But he hasn't done much AI investing over the past few years. We talk about why, how AI will intersect with robotics, the future of things like crypto and synthetic biology, and why so many deep tech companies mess up economic value capture.We also talk about what it means to be a thesis-driven venture firm, Compound's research process and how to replicate it, what private and public market investors can learn from each other, advice for anyone starting in venture today, how to build a brand in VC, and why venture firms don't compound and actually decay over time.Thank you to Kevin Kwok, Andy Weissman, Cristóbal Valenzuela, Blake Robbins, and Smac at Compound for their help brainstorming topics for this.Special thanks to Ramp for supporting this episode.

Jason and John Mauldin discuss the current state of the housing market, noting at while some areas face a shortage due to regulations and high costs, others have a surplus of homes. They highlight the impact of high mortgage rates relative to housing prices, pushing some into the rental market. Jason mentioned a record number of new apartment deliveries during the COVID-19 period, which is now subsiding, and they discussed the muted performance of the housing market overall, with some markets slightly up and others down. John suggested that sellers in many markets may need to adjust their expectations, describing a "barbell market" with high and low ends but a lack of mid-range options. https://www.mauldineconomics.com/frontlinethoughts #JohnMauldin #HousingMarket #HousingShortage #Tariffs #Homebuilders #MortgageRates #RentalMarket #ApartmentConstruction #InterestRates #Powell #Trump #FederalReserve #Inflation #Deflation #Disinflation #GovernmentDebt #GDPGrowth #Deficits #StockMarket #Dividends #PassiveInvesting #ActiveInvesting #PreciousMetals #Gold #BitcoinSkeptic #FinancialAdvice #AmericanExperiment #FreeMarkets #Crisis #DebtCrisis #AI #Robotics #Longevity #GlobalEnergy #NaturalGas #OilPrices #Protectionism #Globalization #ConsumptionTax #VAT #ThoughtsFromTheFrontLine #MauldinEconomics Key Takeaways: 1:49 Don't be fooled by Bill Gates 2:50 John Mauldin and the housing shortage 9:58 Bitcoin and gold as insurance 11:32 Sponsor: https://www.monetary-metals.com/Hartman/ 13:31 Stock market 15:53 Inflation expectations and the bond market 18:52 The markets and geo-political noise 22:15 The American experiment is alive and well Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
Nextracker just made yet another bold move…What if a robot could detect a solar failure before it happens—and build the repair plan to deploy the right resources to the precise location, in real time?That's not science fiction. It's what OnSight Technology is already doing on numerous utility-scale solar farms across the US. And Nextracker have officially acquired OnSight Technology! So, if you're here because you're asking yourself “What the heck? Why did NXT Buy this company, and what do they actually do?!” then you're in luck!In this exclusive episode—recorded before the news dropped—we sat down with Derek Chase, Founder & CEO of OnSight, at their HQ in Sacramento, CA for an inside peek at the autonomous robotics platform that just made headlines.From the Bulldog robot that scans sites with 3D vision and thermal imaging to the OwlCam that detects smoke and fire in real-time, OnSight is setting the standard for predictive, AI-powered solar O&M. But I believe that Derek and his team of NASA Scientists are up to much more than just optimizing solar.It's not just impressive tech—it's a full-stack solution that saves developers, EPCs, and asset owners millions in avoidable losses.If you care about the future of solar performance (Or are just curious about the tech behind Nextracker's latest acquisition), this is a must-listen.Expect to hear:
