Driemaal meer licht, betekent driemaal betere foto's. eyeo is erin geslaagd om beeldsensoren zodanig te verbeteren dat men nu al voor hun technologie in de rij staan. De spinoff van Imec haalde onlangs nog 40 miljoen euro op om hun beeldsensoren verder te ontwikkelen. Zijn de tijden van gebrekkige foto's in het donker straks echt voorbij? Vandaag de dag verliezen camera's zo'n 70 procent aan het binnenvallende licht. Door de kleurenfilters die de afgelopen 50 jaar in onze chips zitten, worden bepaalde kleuren eruit gefilterd. Dat resulteert in minder kwaliteit. Door de ontwikkelingen in de fotonica gooit eyeo het nu over een hele andere boeg. Met hun Nanophotonic Color Splitting technologie wordt elke kleur specifiek opgevangen op de chip en gaat het licht niet meer verloren. Door deze technologie kunnen beveiligingscamera's 's nachts bijvoorbeeld meer zien, en kan de volgende generatie VR-brillen een stuk kleiner. Ook de frontcamera op je smartphone zou voortaan achter het glas geplaatst kunnen worden, omdat er anders wordt omgegaan met het licht. Toch zal eyeo wereldwijde spelers moeten overtuigen van het feit dat de kwaliteit straks ook op grote schaal overeind blijft. Want eyeo droomt groot, en wil hun technologie straks in álle beeldsensoren. Hoe gaat eyeo het hoofd bieden aan de enorme concurrentie? En zijn de risico's niet tóch te groot? Ben van der Burg en Daniel Mol gaan in gesprek met Jeroen Hoet, ceo van eyeo. Reacties en ideeën zijn altijd welkom via technoloog@bnr.nl Gast Jeroen Hoet Video www.youtube.com/@bnrtech Over De Technoloog Mark Beekhuis en Ben van der Burg gaan in gesprek met spraakmakende experts over technologische ontwikkelingen en de impact op onze samenleving. Want technologie is overal om ons heen, in onze broekzak en soms zelfs op ons hoofd. Van AI naar ruimtevaart, van chips naar het metaverse en van mobiele telefonie naar ICT-recht. In een open en vooral nieuwsgierig gesprek krijgt de luisteraar samen met Mark en Ben een razend interessant mini-college.

You may remember that Morgan McSweeney was one of Keir Starmer's fall guys in the Mandelson scandal. He ran the Labour Party's 2024 campaign that saw Labour land a comparatively small amount of the vote (37%) in exactly the right places to give them a stonking great majority and end 14 years of Tory rule. It ended badly for McSweeney. It's ending badly for Starmer, and a bloke who never got elected by Britain is going to run the place in a few weeks, theoretically for the next three years. I tell you this because McSweeney has never spoken before, until now. What he says is fascinating. He claims the party didn't prepare properly for power, didn't think about how the world had changed since they were last in Government, didn't talk about it enough, and didn't plan, and that's why Starmer was such a disaster. What makes it fascinating for us is: 1) It was Starmer and Labour that Chris Hipkins visited in Liverpool at their conference to get tips. 2) It's Hipkins and Labour, according to former MP and Speaker Trevor Mallard, who ended up at the Featherston book fair telling exactly the same story about his party. So do we have a theme, or a trait? Are Labour groupings essentially lazy, or blind, or arrogant? Or a combination of all three? Labour NZ 2017 set a record in working groups because they hadn't prepared for Government. They had nine years to do so. Labour in Britain had 14 years. Perhaps as interesting is Peter Dunne's latest column in Newsroom where he reports that the recent Labour congress here was well staged but lacked anything new. Subsidies for apprenticeships are worthy, but dull, and reminds voters of the economic mess Labour last got us into. Do labour movements lack imagination? The two may be coincidental, but they might not be. Is Labour about simply waiting for the other lot to lose? At their heart, are they not actually up for a bit of hard work and prep? New Zealand Labour were jettisoned for a calamitous record. British Labour would be on the verge of it if they didn't have five-year terms. McSweeney, Mallard, and Dunne all tell a similar story. If you're a potential Labour supporter here, surely that story is worrying, if not frightening. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wie verändert künstliche Intelligenz den Journalismus – und könnte sie am Ende sogar seine Rettung sein? Darüber spricht Georg Renner in dieser Folge mit Patrick Swanson. Der frühere Social-Media-Chef der ORF-"Zeit im Bild" lebt heute im Silicon Valley und berät mit seiner Firma Verso Medienhäuser in Europa und den USA beim Einsatz von KI. Ausgangspunkt des Gesprächs ist Swansons vieldiskutierter Essay "We're at the Beginning of Something Better": eine bewusst optimistische Vision, in der kleine, wendige Newsrooms mit ein, zwei Journalist:innen dank KI erstmals wirtschaftlich selbsttragend arbeiten können – nach dem Prinzip "menschliches Frontend, technisches Backend". Swanson erklärt, welche Tätigkeiten die KI übernehmen kann und welche radikal menschlich bleiben müssen, warum er die Flucht der Medienbranche in immer mehr öffentliche Förderung für gefährlich hält und wie eine sinnvolle Gründungsförderung nach Vorbild des Media Forward Fund aussehen könnte. Außerdem geht es um die technologische Abhängigkeit Europas von amerikanischen und chinesischen KI-Anbietern, um die schwierige Transformation etablierter Medienhäuser – inklusive der ehrlichen Ansage, dass nicht jeder Job bleiben wird – und um Swansons Tipps für Journalist:innen, die sich jetzt mit den neuen Tools auseinandersetzen wollen.

Carolyn Ryan — deputy managing editor of The New York Times — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a candid conversation about the state of American journalism at a moment when the Times has become, as Ryan puts it, one of the last big independent organizations left in news. Ryan makes the case that serious journalism has become almost impossible without the resources the Times can still muster — deep-dive reporting requires enormous time, the best legal team in the business to withstand the threats and lawsuits now routinely aimed at the press, and an ownership structure insulated from market pressure. She's blunt about the difference the Ochs-Sulzberger family makes: newsrooms owned by publicly traded companies inevitably change their behavior to satisfy shareholders, while the family that controls the Times is, in her words, "ride or die" for journalism — a distinction that has never mattered more than it does now, even as she praises the excellent nonprofit newsrooms springing up around the country. Ryan explains how the Times is building regional reporting hubs and investing heavily in places like Texas on the theory that a truly national news organization needs a journalist in every state, why book reporting from stars like Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan often lands with more impact and candor than day-to-day breaking news, and how the paper decides which reporters get the coveted book leave that produces those deeper stories. The conversation gets into the harder editorial questions facing the Times in the Trump era. Ryan discusses the paper's major investment in a more rigorous polling and data operation , its aggressive push into video to reach younger audiences, and the perennial tension over whether there should be a brighter line between the newsroom and the opinion page — a separation the Times has tried to clarify through design changes and by being more transparent about its process. Ryan is thoughtful about one of the thorniest challenges in modern journalism: how to handle the obvious lies told by Trump and other political figures, explaining that to actually call something a "lie" you have to establish intent, that the audience cares enormously about how things are described, and that the language should always be direct and forthright without tipping into hysteria. She closes with a sharp critique of the Pentagon kicking out reporters and banning contact with unauthorized military members — a policy she argues is not only unconstitutional but a direct threat to the journalism that keeps the public informed about how its military actually operates.

Chuck Todd delivers a sweeping, big-picture meditation on the Trump era and where it's ultimately headed, arguing that despite the widespread conviction that Trump is teflon and that nothing will ever take him down, his presidency will end not with a bang but a whimper — and history won't remember it well. He predicts that a century from now Trump will be remembered somewhere between Grover Cleveland and Richard Nixon, and that his act, like every previous iteration of Trump, will eventually wear out its welcome with the public — because it always has, and he's already entered some version of lame-duck territory. The heart of the episode is Chuck’s astonishment at Trump's financial disclosure, which he calls a brazen catalog of impeachable offenses. His sharpest line reframes Trump's entire brand: he doesn't actually "own the libs" — he owns the people who send him money, and he's utterly oblivious to the plight of anyone who isn't rich. He closes on a genuinely searching note — observing that Trump is visibly aging and less sharp, that the country is tired of him and it's starting to show, that his single greatest fear is exposure and ridicule, and that he's proving to be nothing more than a grifter.

This one was ripped straight from Molly's morning. A client in the middle of a professional crisis that went viral and personal - social media vigilantes mobilizing online, a position lost - and the conversation kept landing on a single question: when someone types your name into a search engine in June 2026, what actually comes up? Google? Social media? A Reddit thread? Or an AI-written answer you never saw coming?Linda Zebian, VP of Communications at Muck Rack and a ten-year veteran of New York Times corporate comms, has the data to answer it. Muck Rack's "What Is AI Reading?" study analyzed 25 million AI citations - "the biggest study of its kind" - and found that 99% of what AI engines cite comes from non-paid owned and earned media. All of social combined - Reddit, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube - accounts for just 2.9%. The press release your team wrote off years ago? It out-cites Reddit.Which means the reputation game has moved. SEO was a ranking on a list; GEO - generative engine optimization - is about being in the answer.
