À quelques jours du Mobile World Congress 2025 de Barcelone, Qualcomm frappe fort en dévoilant ses ambitions pour la 6G. John Smee, vice-président senior de l'ingénierie chez le géant américain des semi-conducteurs, qualifie 2025 d'année clé, marquant le début de la standardisation officielle de cette nouvelle génération de réseaux. Une annonce qui peut surprendre, alors que la 5G n'a pas encore atteint son plein potentiel.Qualcomm n'attend pas. Sa stratégie repose sur une intégration massive de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) dans les réseaux et les appareils. L'entreprise travaille déjà avec Nokia Bell Labs et Rhode & Schwarz pour démontrer les avantages des réseaux optimisés par l'IA. L'objectif ? Rendre les réseaux plus intelligents et plus adaptatifs, capables de réagir en temps réel à la charge du trafic, à l'interférence et à la mobilité des utilisateurs. Cette approche repose sur des protocoles natifs d'IA, qui permettront d'optimiser les performances réseau en fonction des applications et des besoins individuels. Une avancée qui profitera également à la 5G Advanced, lancée l'an dernier avec la version 3GPP Release 18, et qui constitue une étape intermédiaire avant l'arrivée de la 6G.Qualcomm mise aussi sur l'évolution des systèmes MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) pour exploiter une nouvelle bande de fréquences, la FR3, située entre 7 et 15 GHz. Cette bande intermédiaire pourrait offrir jusqu'à 400 MHz de bande passante supplémentaire, avec des débits améliorés et une couverture comparable aux fréquences inférieures à 7 GHz. Les premiers tests du système Giga-MIMO FR3 sont prometteurs : ils montrent des gains significatifs en vitesse et en couverture. De son côté, Samsung et Arm, qui planchent aussi sur la 6G, estiment que cette nouvelle technologie pourrait atteindre des vitesses records de 1 térabit par seconde grâce au traitement parallèle de poche. Positionnée entre la bande FR1 (sub-6GHz) et la bande FR2 (au-dessus de 24 GHz), la FR3 se distingue par sa faible latence, son adaptabilité aux objets connectés (IoT) et sa capacité à transmettre des volumes massifs de données. Avec cette feuille de route, Qualcomm entend bien façonner l'avenir de la connectivité mobile et prendre une longueur d'avance dans la course à la 6G. Hébergé par Acast.

Ortodontisti, guardie di sicurezza e controllori di volo: sono alcuni esempi delle professioni più a rischio per via dello sviluppo dell’IA, secondo uno dei più completi studi eseguiti per valutare l’impatto dell’IA sul mondo del lavoro. Quello che emerge è un quadro a macchia di leopardo, in cui professioni tradizionali (pensate agli operatori di macchinari come draghe ed escavatrici) o poco specializzate come quella dei raccoglitori di prodotti agricoli possono resistere meglio di altre che, almeno noi umani, consideriamo più specialistiche. Ancora più spesso, ciò che emerge è che l’IA può svolgere alcuni compiti di un lavoratore ma non sostituirlo in toto. Non esiste quindi una regola, ma è possibile individuare un filo rosso. Ne parliamo con Daniele Quercia, Direttore della ricerca sulla Responsible AI ai Nokia Bell Labs di Cambridge.

Si sentono molte cose sull'impatto che l'Intelligenza Artificiale avrà sul lavoro. Ma finora anche tesi molto ragionevoli hanno faticato a trovare una solida base scientifica. Un nuovo studio pubblicato su PNAS Nexus prova a rimediare grazie a un'estesa analisi comparativa, che mette a confronto le descrizioni ufficiali di circa 18 mila tipologie di competenze lavorative e 25 mila brevetti di applicazioni di Intelligenza Artificiale. Ce ne parla Daniele Quercia, Direttore della ricerca sulla Responsible AI ai Nokia Bell Labs di Cambridge.

Nishant Batra CSTO at Nokia Bell Labs discusses trends, strategy and how AI relies on the network.

Patricia Scanlon is the founder and executive chair of Soapbox Labs, the company behind the industry's leading automated speech recognition (ASR) for children. Scanlon has a PhD in speech recognition, signal processing, and machine learning from the University College Dublin, and previously was an adjunct lecturer at Trinity College and on the research staff of Nokia Bell Labs. She founded Soapbox Labs after recognizing that all leading ASRs were trained on adult speech data and showed poor results for children, particularly young children.  Since founding Soapbox Labs in 2013, the company has helped leading software providers bring ASR to education, gaming, and other applications designed for children. We discuss many of the applications and how education has changed since COVID.  Scanlon is also Ireland's AI Ambassador and we discuss market education for consumers, business, and government, as well as the draft EU AI Act. She was previously a guest on the Voicebot podcast in episodes 129 and 206, from 2019 and 2012, respectively. 

Mentions of artificial intelligence and the metaverse may conjure images of the latest video game or social media platform, but the technologies are increasingly being deployed across a wide range of industries including the energy sector. And AI is becoming an increasingly talked about issue among the federal government, with even the White House jumping in to try to start laying a framework for both seizing this opportunity and managing its risks. However, companies like Nokia are confident that the opportunities outweigh the risks and argue that AI, the metaverse and so-called digital twinning have a wide range of applications for the energy sector. S&P Global Commodity Insights senior power editor Kate Winston spoke with Thierry Klein, president of Bell Labs Solutions Research at Nokia Bell Labs, and Dominique Verhulst, global head of the utilities vertical at Nokia, about these very issues.  Stick around for Jeff Mower with the Market Minute, a look at near-term oil market drivers.

Private wireless networks based on 4.9G/LTE or 5G are gaining increasing traction in asset-intensive industries. Nokia is currently providing private wireless solutions to more than 450 customers.  However, Wi-Fi has a role within Industry 4.0, even as digital transformation advances on a broad front. Most of those customers are enterprises with brownfield campuses, which means they have legacy wireless connectivity in place, such as Wi-Fi, that cannot simply be switched off. They may also be using Open RAN, and balancing licensed and unlicensed spectrum.  Clients using Wi-Fi technology may decide to add industrial 4.9G/LTE and 5G devices for specific use cases – often in contexts where Wi-Fi has limitations with regard to mobility, coverage, and interference management.  In circumstances where industrial locations use a mix of connectivity technologies, the enterprises concerned need a solution that will enable them both to extract the maximum value from the different systems deployed and to mitigate the resulting complexity.  How does MX Boost work to reduce technological complexity? Nokia MX Boost is a new innovation, a Nokia Bell Labs patented technology that makes it easy to combine private wireless connectivity with Wi-Fi. It delivers an aggregated multi-path connectivity that supports OT use cases. Industries and enterprises benefit from: An optimized throughput in difficult radio conditions. Improved data processing in highly critical applications. MX Boost is an IP-based solution, which means it is extremely simple to implement and has a minimal impact on the network solutions it uses. It is deployed as a bonding and routing application on Nokia's MX Industrial Edge, and on its multi-modem industrial devices. It works without any changes on wireless access points, making it completely agnostic when it comes to radio technology, spectrum and vendor.  Enterprises can run MX Boost in one of two modes to meet the needs of different applications: Aggregation mode: This boosts data rates in difficult radio conditions by splitting and recombining traffic for multiple channels. It includes performance probes on both links to measure in real time the quality of the channels to optimize reliability. Replication mode: This duplicates the data and puts the same packets on all radio links, then automatically selects the best one. The aim is to boost reliability, latency and mobility.  What is a typical implementation of MX Boost? The most typical usage of MX Boost is to aggregate Wi-Fi 6 and 4.9G/LTE for business-critical OT applications that require high data rates, capacity and quality in specific hotspots. For example, it takes up to 10 cameras to enable remote control of a port train. A combination of Wi-Fi and 4.9G/LTE bandwidth allows for the exclusive use of 4K cameras. If there is a degradation of the quality of the Wi-Fi connectivity, MX Boost automatically switches back to 4.9G/LTE and to HD cameras.  There are many other data-hungry applications, such as high-quality sensor-based applications for multi-metal impurity detection, and augmented reality maintenance applications.  In some countries, industries have access to multiple spectrum bands. So MX Boost can be used to combine various radio technology types like 4G and 5G, and multiple spectrum bands such as centimeter wave, millimeter wave, or disparate 4G bands. Enterprises can use MX Boost to replicate data connectivity on two 4.9G/LTE bands to improve reliability, which is interesting in areas with challenging radio conditions such as ports, metal factories, and mines.  What benefits does being vendor agnostic bring? This is a significant benefit in an age when many enterprise environments are multi-vendor. MX Boost is based on the IP layer, which delivers huge flexibility for the integration of existing connectivity technologies – including in multi-vendor environments, which is important in the context of supporting legacy Wi-Fi. In the past, it has been said that Wi-Fi is suitable only for IT applications because of its inherent limitations in coverage, mobility, latency, and reliability. However, with MX Boost, it is possible to use Wi-Fi for non-critical OT applications. By using MX Boost in replication, it is possible to get the best performance and reliability from several Wi-Fi bands at the same time – such as Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E – and to support applications such as operation management tools, storage systems, and worker information systems. How is Nokia strengthening its Wi-Fi portfolio? There is little doubt that 4.9G/LTE and 5G private wireless networks will become the predominant connectivity choice for manufacturers and other asset-intensive industries looking to reap the benefits of digitalization and Industry 4.0. However, a recent ABI survey showed that many enterprises still see Wi-Fi – and especially Wi-Fi 6 and 6E – as a viable connectivity option for some non-critical operations.  Nokia is integrating Wi-Fi as part of its Nokia Digital Automation Cloud. By deploying Nokia DAC Wi-fi, enterprises can make a seamless transition to private wireless as their needs evolve. For other enterprises that have deployed the Nokia industrial-grade private wireless solution, Nokia DAC Wi-Fi can be ideal in providing a complementary capacity layer at specific locations for non-critical applications.  To learn more, please go to Nokia's private wireless podcast page.

Peter Vetter, president of Bell Labs Core Research for Nokia Bell Labs, joins the podcast to discuss the industry's preparations for 6G and how it will differ from previous cellular generations. Vetter has been with Nokia for over 20 years and has a background in optical communications, FTTH, radio access and network infrastructure research."What 5G has done is connect humans and machines. In 6G, we expect a much richer connectivity of machines and the physical world, the human world, with the digital world – so, the fusion of the digital worlds with physical worlds," explains Vetter. "And that's enabled by massive scale deployment of sensors that in real time capture the state of the physical world."Commercial deployments of 6G will begin in 2030 but will take ten years to prepare, he adds.Here are just a few things covered in this podcast episode:How 6G will differ from previous generations and when it will emerge (02:51)Digital twinning and simulating the physical environment in a digital space (04:37)Use cases for digital twinning such as traffic, retail and healthcare management (08:17)"AI comes to the rescue" for network automation (09:18)Paving the way for 6G (09:48)6G radios learning from each other (11:40)6G for emergency response, energy management and public safety (12:53)Ensuring security is built-in for 6G (15:10)Critical network infrastructure for 6G (16:38)One global 6G standard but national and regional requirements (18:36)When 6G applications and specifications will emerge (20:25)6G will "unleash human possibilities … putting humans back at the center," says Vetter.

We have come a long way from using networks for telephony services such as calls and messages in 2G, experiencing broadband speed in 3G, deploying private office networks in 4G, to now setting up smart spaces using automation and robotics in 5G. Each successive generation of communication technology brings about significant changes in the network, perfecting the use-cases of the previous generation and introducing new ones.   While 5G is still at its nascent stage, 6G will build on top of 5G. It is touted to drive the adoption of 5G use cases at scale through optimisations and cost-reduction, especially at the enterprise level. At the same time, it will enable new use cases. Moreover, 6G will bring together the human, physical, and virtual environments. Take the concept of ‘Metaverse', for example. It is one of the 5G use cases, which promises to disrupt both traditional and digital spaces. With 6G, the ‘Metaverse' would not just evolve into a final model but is also likely to unify with the physical world with the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning.   This is because the most notable aspect of 6G would be its ability to sense the environment, people and objects -- according to telecom gear maker Nokia Bell Labs. The network's sensing ability combined with artificial intelligence and machine learning will make the network more cognitive.   India is running behind schedule on the rollout of 5G, but tables may turn with 6G. This is because the country has already begun the development of 6G. According to Minister of Communication Ashwini Vaishnaw, work towards developing the next generation of communication technology has begun using indigenously developed 6G infrastructure with the aim to launch it either by 2023-end or early 2024.

A Black Man invented the microphone we use every day. Every podcaster and radio jock in the world has this man to thank for the transmission of their voices to the masses. As a kid, James Maceo West was intrigued by electronics; so much so that he chose to study physics in university. In 1960, after landing a gig at Bell Labs (now Nokia Bell Labs), he invented the foil electret microphone, which was more compact, sensitive, and powerful than anything of its time. It is widely used in many applications today!

What is the nature of innovation? Is it overhearing a conversation as with Morse and the telegraph? Working with the deaf as with Bell? Divine inspiration? Necessity? Science fiction? Or given that the answer to all of these is yes, is it really more the intersectionality between them and multiple basic and applied sciences with deeper understandings in each domain? Or is it being given the freedom to research? Or being directed to research? Few have as storied a history of innovation as Bell Labs and few have had anything close to the impact. Bell Labs gave us 9 Nobel Prizes and 5 Turing awards. Their alumni have even more, but those were the ones earned while at Bell. And along the way they gave us 26,000 patents. They researched, automated, and built systems that connected practically every human around the world - moving us all into an era of instant communication. It's a rich history that goes back in time from the 2018 Ashkin Nobel for applied optical tweezers and 2018 Turing award for Deep Learning to an almost steampunk era of tophats and the dawn of the electrification of the world. Those late 1800s saw a flurry of applied and basic research. One reason was that governments were starting to fund that research. Alessandro Volta had come along and given us the battery and it was starting to change the world. So Napolean's nephew, Napoleon III, during the second French Empire gave us the Volta Prize in 1852. One of those great researchers to receive the Volta Prize was Alexander Graham Bell. He invented the telephone in 1876 and was awarded the Volta Prize, getting 50,000 francs. He used the money to establish the Volta Laboratory, which would evolve or be a precursor to a research lab that would be called Bell Labs. He also formed the Bell Patent Association in 1876. They would research sound. Recording, transmission, and analysis - so science. There was a flurry of business happening in preparation to put a phone in every home in the world. We got the Bell System, The Bell Telephone Company, American Bell Telephone Company patent disputes with Elisha Gray over the telephone (and so the acquisition of Western Electric), and finally American Telephone and Telegraph, or AT&T. Think of all this as Ma' Bell. Not Pa' Bell mind you - as Graham Bell gave all of his shares except 10 to his new wife when they were married in 1877. And her dad ended up helping build the company and later creating National Geographic, even going international with International Bell Telephone Company. Bell's assistant Thomas Watson sold his shares off to become a millionaire in the 1800s, and embarking on a life as a Shakespearean actor. But Bell wasn't done contributing. He still wanted to research all the things. Hackers gotta' hack. And the company needed him to - keep in mind, they were a cutting edge technology company (then as in now). That thirst for research would infuse AT&T - with Bell Labs paying homage to the founder's contribution to the modern day. Over the years they'd be on West Street in New York and expand to have locations around the US. Think about this: it was becoming clear that automation would be able to replace human efforts where electricity is concerned. The next few decades gave us the vacuum tube, flip flop circuits, mass deployment of radio. The world was becoming ever so slightly interconnected. And Bell Labs was researching all of it. From physics to the applied sciences. By the 1920s, they were doing sound synchronized with motion and shooting that over long distances and calculating the noise loss. They were researching encryption. Because people wanted their calls to be private. That began with things like one-time pad cyphers but would evolve into speech synthesizers and even SIGSALY, the first encrypted (or scrambled) speech transmission that led to the invention of the first computer modem. They had engineers like Harry Nyquist, whose name is on dozens of theories, frequencies, even noise. He arrived in 1917 and stayed until he retired in 1954. One of his most important contributions was to move beyond printing telegraph to paper tape and to helping transmit pictures over electricity - and Herbert Ives from there sent color photos, thus the fax was born (although it would be Xerox who commercialized the modern fax machine in the 1960s). Nyquist and others like Ralph Hartley worked on making audio better, able to transmit over longer lines, reducing feedback, or noise. While there, Hartley gave us the oscillator, developed radio receivers, parametric amplifiers, and then got into servomechanisms before retiring from Bell Labs in 1950. The scientists who'd been in their prime between the two world wars were titans and left behind commercializable products, even if they didn't necessarily always mean to. By the 40s a new generation was there and building on the shoulders of these giants. Nyquist's work was extended by Claude Shannon, who we devoted an entire episode to. He did a lot of mathematical analysis like writing “A Mathematical Theory of Communication” to birth Information Theory as a science. They were researching radio because secretly I think they all knew those leased lines would some day become 5G. But also because the tech giants of the era included radio and many could see a day coming when radio, telephony, and aThey were researching how electrons diffracted, leading to George Paget Thomson receiving the Nobel Prize and beginning the race for solid state storage. Much of the work being done was statistical in nature. And they had William Edwards Deming there, whose work on statistical analysis when he was in Japan following World War II inspired a global quality movement that continues to this day in the form of frameworks like Six Sigma and TQM. Imagine a time when Japanese manufacturing was of such low quality that he couldn't stay on a phone call for a few minutes or use a product for a time. His work in Japan's reconstruction paired with dedicated founders like Akio Morita, who co-founded Sony, led to one of the greatest productivity increases, without sacrificing quality, of any time in the world. Deming would change the way Ford worked, giving us the “quality culture.” Their scientists had built mechanical calculators going back to the 30s (Shannon had built a differential analyzer while still at MIT) - first for calculating the numbers they needed to science better then for ballistic trajectories, then with the Model V in 1946, general computing. But these were slow; electromechanical at best. Mary Torrey was another statistician of the era who along with Harold Hodge gave us the theory of acceptance sampling and thus quality control for electronics. And basic electronics research to do flip-flop circuits fast enough to establish a call across a number of different relays was where much of this was leading. We couldn't use mechanical computers for that, and tubes were too slow. And so in 1947 John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley invented the transistor at Bell Labs, which be paired with Shannon's work to give us the early era of computers as we began to weave Boolean logic in ways that allowed us to skip moving parts and move to a purely transistorized world of computing. In fact, they all knew one day soon, everything that monster ENIAC and its bastard stepchild UNIVAC was doing would be done on a single wafer of silicon. But there was more basic research to get there. The types of wires we could use, the Marnaugh map from Maurice Karnaugh, zone melting so we could do level doping. And by 1959 Mohamed Atalla and Dawon Kahng gave us metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors, or MOSFETs - which was a step on the way to large-scale integration, or LSI chips. Oh, and they'd started selling those computer modems as the Bell 101 after perfecting the tech for the SAGE air-defense system. And the research to get there gave us the basic science for the solar cell, electronic music, and lasers - just in the 1950s. The 1960s saw further work work on microphones and communication satellites like Telstar, which saw Bell Labs outsource launching satellites to NASA. Those transistors were coming in handy, as were the solar panels. The 14 watts produced certainly couldn't have moved a mechanical computer wheel. Blaise Pascal and would be proud of the research his countries funds inspired and Volta would have been perfectly happy to have his name still on the lab I'm sure. Again, shoulders and giants. Telstar relayed its first television signal in 1962. The era of satellites was born later that year when Cronkite televised coverage of Kennedy manipulating world markets on this new medium for the first time and IBM 1401 computers encrypted and decrypted messages, ushering in an era of encrypted satellite communications. Sputnik may heave heated the US into orbit but the Telstar program has been an enduring system through to the Telstar 19V launched in 2018 - now outsourced to a Falcon 9 rocket from Space X. It might seem like Bell Labs had done enough for the world. But they still had a lot of the basic wireless research to bring us into the cellular age. In fact, they'd plotted out what the cellular age would look like all the way back in 1947! The increasing use of computers to do the all the acoustics and physics meant they were working closely with research universities during the rise of computing. They were involved in a failed experiment to create an operating system in the late 60s. Multics influenced so much but wasn't what we might consider a commercial success. It was the result of yet another of DARPA's J.C.R. Licklider's wild ideas in the form of Project MAC, which had Marvin Minsky and John McCarthy. Big names in the scientific community collided with cooperation and GE, Bell Labs and Multics would end up inspiring many a feature of a modern operating system. The crew at Bell Labs knew they could do better and so set out to take the best of Multics and implement a lighter, easier operating system. So they got to work on Uniplexed Information and Computing Service, or Unics, which was a pun on Multics. Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Doug McIllroy, Joe Assana, Brian Kernigan, and many others wrote Unix originally in assembly and then rewrote it in C once Dennis Ritchie wrote that to replace B. Along the way, Alfred Aho, Peter Weinber, and Kernighan gave us AWSK and with all this code they needed a way to keep the source under control so Marc Rochkind gave us the SCCS, or Course Code Control System, first written for an IBM S/3370 and then ported to C - which would be how most environments maintained source code until CVS came along in 1986. And Robert Fourer, David Gay, and Brian Kernighan wrote A Mathematical Programming Language, or AMPL, while there. Unix began as a bit of a shadow project but would eventually go to market as Research Unix when Don Gillies left Bell to go to the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. From there it spread and after it fragmented in System V led to the rise of IBM's AIX, HP-UX, SunOS/Solaris, BSD, and many other variants - including those that have evolved into the macOS through Darwin, and Android through Linux. But Unix wasn't all they worked on - it was a tool to enable other projects. They gave us the charge-coupled device, which resulted in yet another Nobel Prize. That is an image sensor built on the MOS technologies. While fiber optics goes back to the 1800s, they gave us attenuation over fiber and thus could stretch cables to only need repeaters every few dozen miles - again reducing the cost to run the ever-growing phone company. All of this electronics allowed them to finally start reducing their reliance on electromechanical and human-based relays to transistor-to-transistor logic and less mechanical meant less energy, less labor to repair, and faster service. Decades of innovation gave way to decades of profit - in part because of automation. The 5ESS was a switching system that went online in 1982 and some of what it did - its descendants still do today. Long distance billing, switching modules, digital line trunk units, line cards - the grid could run with less infrastructure because the computer managed distributed switching. The world was ready for packet switching. 5ESS was 100 million lines of code, mostly written in C. All that source was managed with SCCS. Bell continued with innovations. They produced that modem up into the 70s but allowed Hayes, Rockewell, and others to take it to a larger market - coming back in from time to time to help improve things like when Bell Labs, branded as Lucent after the breakup of AT&T, helped bring the 56k modem to market. The presidents of Bell Labs were as integral to the success and innovation as the researchers. Frank Baldwin Jewett from 1925 to 1940, Oliver Buckley from 40 to 51, the great Mervin Kelly from 51 to 59, James Fisk from 59 to 73, William Oliver Baker from 73 to 79, and a few others since gave people like Bishnu Atal the space to develop speech processing algorithms and predictive coding and thus codecs. And they let Bjarne Stroustrup create C++, and Eric Schmidt who would go on to become a CEO of Google and the list goes on. Nearly every aspect of technology today is touched by the work they did. All of this research. Jon Gerstner wrote a book called The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation. He chronicles the journey of multiple generations of adventurers from Germany, Ohio, Iowa, Japan, and all over the world to the Bell campuses. The growth and contraction of the basic and applied research and the amazing minds that walked the halls. It's a great book and a short episode like this couldn't touch the aspects he covers. He doesn't end the book as hopeful as I remain about the future of technology, though. But since he wrote the book, plenty has happened. After the hangover from the breakup of Ma Bell they're now back to being called Nokia Bell Labs - following a $16.6 billion acquisition by Nokia. I sometimes wonder if the world has the stomach for the same level of basic research. And then Alfred Aho and Jeffrey Ullman from Bell end up sharing the Turing Award for their work on compilers. And other researchers hit a terabit a second speeds. A storied history that will be a challenge for Marcus Weldon's successor. He was there as a post-doc there in 1995 and rose to lead the labs and become the CTO of Nokia - he said the next regeneration of a Doctor Who doctor would come in after him. We hope they are as good of stewards as those who came before them. The world is looking around after these decades of getting used to the technology they helped give us. We're used to constant change. We're accustomed to speed increases from 110 bits a second to now terabits. The nature of innovation isn't likely to be something their scientists can uncover. My guess is Prometheus is guarding that secret - if only to keep others from suffering the same fate after giving us the fire that sparked our imaginations. For more on that, maybe check out Hesiod's Theogony. In the meantime, think about the places where various sciences and disciplines intersect and think about the wellspring of each and the vast supporting casts that gave us our modern life. It's pretty phenomenal when ya' think about it.

Where do the lines blur between art and technology? Technology has allowed for much broader access to art. It's also given a platform for many artists to share their work. Historically, it would have been much more difficult to distribute your art, but in the age of YouTube and social media, we have more access to art than ever.In this Disruption Talks episode, we speak with someone who understands this concept better than most, Harry Yeff, Artist in Residence E.A.T at Nokia Bell Labs. Harry discusses the role of art in society and how technology is key to understanding ourselves. He describes his fascinating work with voice gems – a visual representation of voice, and how his installations have helped people understand the power of their own voices. Hosted by Filip Sobiecki.

Composer/performer https://benneill.com (Ben Neill) is the inventor of the Mutantrumpet, a hybrid electro-acoustic instrument, and is widely recognized as a musical innovator through his recordings, performances and installations. Neill’s music blends influences from electronic, jazz, and minimalist music, blurring the lines between digital media and acoustic instrument performance. Neill has recorded eleven albums of his music on labels including Universal/Verve, Thirsty Ear, Astralwerks, and Six Degrees. Currently he is an Artist in Residence at Nokia Bell Labs where he is exploring new modes of emotion transfer and communication between people using music, visual media, and hybrid instruments. Performances include BAM Next Wave Festival, Big Ears Festival, Lincoln Center, Whitney Museum of American Art, Bing Concert Hall at Stanford, Getty Museum, Cite de la Musique Paris, Moogfest, Spoleto Festival, Umbria Jazz, Bang On A Can Festival, ICA London, Istanbul Jazz Festival, Vienna Jazz Festival, and the Edinburgh Festival, among many others. Neill has worked closely with many musical innovators including La Monte Young, John Cage, John Cale, Pauline Oliveros, Rhys Chatham, DJ Spooky, David Berhman, Mimi Goese, King Britt, and Nicolas Collins. Neill also leads concerts of La Monte Young’s The Second Dream of the High Tension Stepdown Line Transformer with an international brass ensemble; performances have recently been presented in New York, Amsterdam, Paris, Amsterdam, Huddersfield, Den Bosch, Oslo, Krems, Koln, Los Angeles, and Warsaw. Neill began developing the Mutantrumpet in the early 1980s. Initially an acoustic instrument (a combination of 3 trumpets and a trombone combined into one), he collaborated with synthesizer Robert Moog to integrate electronics. In 1992, while in residency at the STEIM research and development lab for new instruments in Amsterdam, Neill made the mutantrumpet fully computer interactive. In 2008 he created a new version of his instrument at STEIM, and returned there in 2016-17 to design Version 4.0 which made its debut 2019. See a more detailed history of the instrument https://benneill.com/portfolio/mutantrumpethistory/ (here). Other current projects include a collaboration with vocalist/composer Mimi Goese that explores the musical and poetic qualities of mathematics and science through collaborations with chaos mathematician Ralph Abraham and the Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries. The new songs combine the interplay of Goese’s captivating vocals and the electroacoustic explorations of Neill’s self-designed mutantrumpet with sounds created from fractal mathematics and Hudson River environmental data. A native of North Carolina, Neill holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts degree from Manhattan School of Music. He studied composition with La Monte Young and was also mentored by composer/performer Jon Hassell in the early 1980’s. Since 2008 he has been a music professor at Ramapo College of New Jersey.

In the eleventh episode of "Barbara London Calling," Barbara speaks with Brooklyn-based artist Marina Rosenfeld. As a composer, Marina orchestrated a performance art piece called "Shear Frost Orchestra," which featured 17 women each playing an electric guitar using nothing but bottles of nail polish. Sitting in a line, the women were directed to play their guitars in a series of choreographed actions: drop, hop, drone, scratch, and "A" for anything. Marina is currently artist in residence at Nokia Bell Labs, where she found inspiration in an experimental prototype for a multi-microphone nicknamed the Death Star.

Budapest-based Péter Szilágyi, a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Nokia Bell Labs, thinks that despite the great technical advances we've seen over the years, technology makes us jump through too many hoops – especially when it comes to networks. His work on intelligent intent-based networking (I2BN) envisions a future where technology will have to adapt to us, seamlessly and intuitively. Rather than watching video on how to configure a wireless router or pulling our hair in frustration over a misbehaving app, we'll have networks that simply and dynamically conform to our desires.

Gobierno de EU presenta histórica demanda antimonopolio contra GoogleLa demanda que sería presentada este martes es por supuestamente violar la ley al usar su poder de mercado para defenderse de sus rivales y dejarlos en desventaja para mantener su dominancia. El Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos y once estados interpusieron este martes una demanda contra Google por monopolio en los mercados de anuncios y búsqueda en internet, tras un año de investigación, con lo que abre un histórico caso antimonopolio en el mercado digital.El fiscal adjunto del Departamento de Justicia, Jeffrey A. Rosen, explicó en rueda de prensa telefónica que la demanda subraya que Google sustenta su papel de “principal guardián de acceso” a internet a través de “una red ilegal de acuerdos exclusivos que daña a los competidores”.Nokia proporcionó más detalles de su nombramiento como socio de la NASA para desarrollar la primera red de comunicaciones 4G-LTE en el espacio, que allanará el camino hacia la presencia humana sustentable en la superficie lunar.Las innovaciones de los Nokia Bell Labs permitirán la construcción e implementación de la primera solución LTE ultra compacta, de bajo consumo de energía, reforzada para su uso en el espacio y de extremo a extremo en la superficie lunar hacia finales de 2022. Nokia se asoció con Intuitive Machines con el objetivo de integrar esta innovadora red en su módulo de aterrizaje lunar y entregarla a la superficie lunar. La red se autoconfigurará tras el despliegue, estableciéndose así el primer sistema de comunicaciones LTE en la Luna. Esta red proporcionará capacidad de comunicaciones críticas para muchas aplicaciones diferentes de transmisión de datos, incluidas las funciones vitales de comando y control remoto de vehículos lunares, navegación en tiempo real y transmisión de video de alta definición. Todas estas aplicaciones de comunicación son vitales para la presencia humana a largo plazo en la superficie lunar. La red LTE de Nokia, -el precursor del 5G-, resulta ideal para proporcionar conectividad inalámbrica a cualquier actividad que los astronautas necesiten realizar, lo que permite comunicaciones de voz y video, intercambio de datos de telemetría y biométrica, y el despliegue y control de cargas útiles robóticas y de sensoreRusia registra la tecnología de inteligencia artificial como producto médico La tecnología de inteligencia artificial (IA) para el diagnóstico de la neumonía en los pacientes con el COVID-19 ha sido registrada en Rusia como producto médico, comunicó el viceministro de Salud Pável Pugachev."Para la fecha ya tenemos registrado un producto médico de ese tipo y otros tres están en fase de registro en el Servicio Federal de Supervisión de la Salud Pública [Roszdravnadzor]", dijo en un foro sobre innovaciones.Llegan Nuevos equipos de Acer.

The Art + Science Reading Group is a virtual group where researchers, artists, thinkers, and revolutionaries come to share ideas. Organised by PhD candidates Autumn Brown (Science Gallery Dublin and School of Education) and Amelia McConville (School of English and Institute of Neuroscience) and supported by Science Gallery Dublin and the Trinity Long Room Hub, the series explores the ways art and science shape one another and society. This month we're chatting with vocalist, composer, and researcher Síobhra Quinlan about the ways in which the Covid-19 pandemic may help us re-imagine and ethically reform our relationship with online creative spaces. During quarantine how many of us sought out inspiration, comfort, or escape in a live streamed concert, a gallery tour, or other social creative space? What have these experiences done for us, or communicated to technology companies? How can a post-human lens help us re-imagine, and create the ethical technological futures we want? With a special focus on two projects at Nokia Bell Labs, E.A.T Now, Other Voices Courage, and We Speak music, we'll chat about these questions and more! Síobhra Quinlan is an Irish vocalist, composer, producer, and researcher. Whilst doing an M. Phil in Music Composition at Trinity College in 2016/2017, Síobhra researched and revived the forgotten works of female singer-composers from 17C Italy which she then performed at The National Gallery of Ireland with David Adams, and at The National Concert Hall as part of International Women's Day with Solomiya Maksymiv. Síobhra is also involved with outreach projects, working with artists currently living in Direct Provision through the mediums of music, drama & art. Her research will explore posthuman-art and intimacy as architects of our digital existence.

The Bells Labs is the birthplace of world-changing innovations. The transistor, cellular phones, solar cells and the laser are just a few of the innovations that have been created at the Bell Labs in the past 95 years. Bell Labs has always been attached to a large communications company and in 2015 Nokia acquired the Bell Labs when they purchased Alcatel-Lucent. Our guest Domhnaill Hernon is the head of Experiments in Art and Technology (EAT) at Nokia Bell Labs. Domhnaill collaborates with the artistic and creative community to push the limits of technology to solve the greatest human need challenges. In this conversation, we talk about culture and the importance of real diversity to create great ideas. Domhnaill now sees most of his work through the lens of culture because he is bringing two very different communities together of artists and scientists and is helping them to work toward the same goal and embrace the diversity of thought that often leads to great innovation.

The Vendee Globe – an around-the-world, solo sailing competition – is considered one of the most grueling sporting events of the modern age. As such, it presents an intriguing opportunity to solve one of the most vexing challenges facing technological innovation: the “remote problem.” AI, advanced sensing and automation are becoming commonplace in industrial environments, leading to huge boosts in productivity and efficiency. But moving those complex systems off of the factory floor and onto a solitary boat sailing in the middle of the ocean creates an entirely new set of challenges. Listen in as champion racer Alex Thomson and Marcus Weldon, President of Nokia Bell Labs and Corporate CTO of Nokia, discuss the potential of their unique collaboration.

So skilled is Harry Yeff - better known as champion beatboxer Reeps One - at his craft that he’s prompted one neuroscientist to note: “[he] can make at least three sounds simultaneously [with his mouth] -- and theoretically you're not supposed to be able to do that.” Having been the subject of scientific studies since 2012, Reeps One continues to hone his craft and explore the outer limits of what is possible with the human voice. Now, as a Bell Labs Artist In Residence and collaborator, he’s training a sophisticated deep learning artificial intelligence system to beatbox – setting the scene for a most unusual duet. We get the full, behind the scenes scoop in our latest episode. To learn more about Reeps One and this groundbreaking journey, check out the recently released, six-part web documentary entitled “We Speak Music.” Future Human is a presentation of Nokia Bell Labs, produced by Audiation.fm.

“When what you do is what you love it’s just wonderful doing that.” That was the start of my conversation with Beatie Wolfe – a musician, storyteller and an innovator. Beatie always had a deep love of music, art, design and storytelling – creativity in every sense. She started writing songs at the age of seven. Also at that time, she found her parents’ vinyl collection. For her, these were musical books – a tangible gateway into the world of the album. From then on, for Beatie, the music and its tangible and visual experiences were interconnected.  That’s how for her debut album 8ight she created a pioneering 3D Interactive Album App and also created a ‘Palm Top Theatre’ – a modern rendition of the 1980s viewfinder – on which you could watch 8ight’s interactive visuals filmed by Weavers Productions. From then on, a technologically advanced portfolio of projects followed: The Montagu Square Musical Jacket, world’s first NFC Album Deck, beaming her album Raw Space into space as well as creating the world’s first live 360° AR experience, produced in collaboration with Nokia Bell Labs and Design I/O. Listen to our conversation to find out more about Beatie's music, her multi-disciplinary innovations and her wish to foster daily 'ceremonies' and our connections with one another.

If – like me – your high school/college summers were filled with menial office work, flipping burgers or babysitting, well, you did it wrong. In this episode, we check in with a few fearless students who spent their summer on the Nokia Bell Lab campus in Murray Hill, New Jersey. Instead of slathering sunscreen on toddlers or beating a malfunctioning printer to death, these folks were: teaching robots how to navigate buildings; pressure testing materials that will enable factories to operate more efficiently; enhancing the capabilities of potentially life-saving wearables; improving the technology that powers facial recognition; and turning live concerts into a personal surround sound experience. And they’re just getting started. Future Human is a presentation of Nokia Bell Labs, produced by audiation.fm.
