De fleste har nok prøvet at bruge Generativ AI til at skrive tekster eller lave billeder. Men i stigende grad bliver moderne AI også brugt til at gøre ting ude i virkeligheden – altså i en interaktion med fysiske genstande: biler, robotter og andre maskiner.Her er ideen, at man ved hjælp af industrielle chatbots hurtigere og mere effektivt kan designe, udvikle og planlægge produktionen, fra de første skitser i et tegneprogram til indkøb af materialer, og programmering af af industrirobotterne.Det er et område, som Siemens er igang med at udforske – blandt andet med det, de kalder Industrial Foundation Models. Altså store generative AI-modeller, der dog ikke er trænet på artikler, bøger, billeder eller musik, men på data fra maskiner, sensorer, robotter og design-filer.Det er en vision med masser af udfordringer – fra hallucinationer til data-ejerskab og forretningsmodeller – men hvis det lykkes at føre visionen ud i livet kan det fuldstændig ændre den måde, vi designer og producerer på – siger Siemens.Jeg har talt med Søren Jakobsen, Lead of Next Generation Automation i Siemens Digital Industries.Lyt med!LINKSSIDEN SIDSTMassivt løft til AI-forskning og talentudvikling på AAUAalborg Universitet satser på MistralUdkast til forslag til lov om AI-systemer i offentlig forvaltningTingit rejser 1,5 millioner Euro til AI-drevet reparationsplatformPentagon stempler Anthropic som 'supply chain risk'BONUS: Hvor mange AI'er skal der til for at læse en PDF?INDUSTRIELLE MODELLERSøren Jakobsen, SiemensSiemens-chef Roland Buschs mission om at automatisere alt | The VergeSiemens introducerer industriel AI-grundmodel med Microsoft og virtuel PLC med AudiIndustrial Foundation Models (IFMs) for intelligent manufacturing: A systematic review (pdf)Generative AI in manufacturing: a literature review of recent applications and future prospects (pdf)

Connecting Excellence Group Plc (AQSE:XCE, OTCQB:XCELF) CEO Scott Ellam talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strong first-half performance, IPO milestone, and innovative Bitcoin treasury strategy. The company reported a 20% increase in net fee income during the first half of FY26, driven by higher average fees and continued demand for senior-level placements across global consulting, professional services, logistics, environmental services and AI intelligence businesses. Ellam explained that growth came despite senior leadership preparing for the IPO, highlighting the strength of the underlying recruitment team and operating model. He said the public listing on the Aquis Exchange, alongside the company's OTCQB trading in the United States, is central to scaling the business. According to Ellam, the PLC structure combined with a Bitcoin treasury strategy enables Connecting Excellence Group Plc to attract high-performing executive recruiters using performance-based share incentives. Discussing the Bitcoin strategy, Ellam said investors are backing “a growing operating business and cash flowing business, but on the upside, they are using all surplus cash to buy more of the Bitcoin, which is compounding at a significant growth rate.” The company currently holds more than 52 Bitcoin and has launched XCE Bitcoin bonds to access additional capital markets funding. January marked the strongest recruitment month in the company's history, with senior placements across AI supply chain intelligence, professional services, environmental compliance and IoT data solutions.

Keywords mini whiteboards, education, teaching strategies, classroom engagement, cognitive science, instructional choices, formative assessment, student participation, teaching tools, learning support Takeaways Mini whiteboards can quickly gauge student understanding. They support various instructional strategies across subjects. Effective use requires clear routines and expectations. Overuse can lead to distractions and disengagement. They provide immediate feedback for teachers. Cognitive load management is crucial when using them. Not the only tool for checking understanding; variety is key. Engagement is enhanced when students feel safe to share. Assessment for learning is more effective than assessment of learning. Intentional questioning is vital for maximizing their benefits.

As International Women's Day highlights the importance of women pursuing careers in every sector, one young woman from Athlone, County Westmeath, is sharing her story of resilience and why she believes sometimes the biggest barrier is self-doubt. Jessica Hoey, a Software Development Apprentice with FIT (Fastrack into Information Technology) and Zinkworks, did what many students do after their Leaving Certificate: she went straight to university to study Computer Science. "I went the traditional route," Jessica explains. "I finished my Leaving Cert and went to university to study Computer Science. But when Covid hit, I dropped out and worked full-time." Unsure if she would ever find her way back into tech, but determined not to give up on her passion for tech, Jessica completed a PLC course to rebuild her confidence and skills. It was there she first heard about Tech Apprenticeships. FIT is the national coordinator of Tech Apprenticeships in Ireland, with programmes in Software Development, Cybersecurity, Computer Networking, and a new Data Analytics programme launching in 2026 (subject to QQI validation). "I argued with myself about applying and wasn't sure if I should do it. But I decided to just go for it – and I was lucky enough to get a place." That decision, she says, changed everything. For Jessica, the appeal of FIT's Tech Apprenticeship programme wasn't just gaining another qualification; it was gaining experience. "I already had some technical knowledge, but getting your foot in the door of a company is extremely hard," she explains. "With the Tech Apprenticeship programme, I have two years of industry experience, and that's invaluable." She believes the combination of work and study offers something unique. "I'm learning things I would never learn in a classroom. I get to see how the industry works from the inside. And I work alongside people who have years of experience – the advice and knowledge they share will stay with me throughout my career." Tech Apprentices earn a salary while they learn, gaining a nationally recognised qualification and valuable on-the-job experience with a company over two years. As International Women's Day shines a light on increasing female representation in technology, Jessica hopes her story resonates with other young women in Westmeath who may doubt whether they belong in the industry. "If I hadn't applied, I'd still be wondering 'what if?'" she says. "Now I'm building a career I'm genuinely excited about." Since completing her Tech Apprenticeship, Jessica is now a full-time Junior Software Engineer with Zinkworks, a global leader in software innovation based in Westmeath. Applications are currently open for FIT's upcoming Software Development programmes taking place in Dublin this April, with further intakes scheduled for Dublin and Galway in October. For those considering a future in technology, Jessica's advice remains simple: take the chance. To learn more or apply, visit FIT's website at www.fit.ie or email them at info@fit.ie today.

In this Jack Westin MCAT Podcast episode, Mike and Molly break down MCAT signaling cascades with a clear, test-focused walkthrough of G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs). You'll learn the core GPCR structure, how GDP → GTP activation works , why signaling pathways create amplification, and how cells shut signals off with built-in termination steps.We cover the high-yield cAMP pathway in detail, including Gs vs Gi, adenylyl cyclase → cAMP → protein kinase A (PKA), plus the key ideas behind the Gq pathway (PLC and calcium signaling). We also connect GPCR signaling to common MCAT contexts like hormones, fast cellular responses, and a classic passage-style example (cholera toxin) to show how the AAMC tests cause-and-effect in pathways.In this episode, you'll learn:

You spent a year building a feature. Someone just replicated it in a day using AI.This isn't hypothetical. Roei Samuel is watching it happen in real-time. As founder of Connected - a marketplace helping 5,700 fractionals work with scale-ups - he's spinning up products daily that took his team a year to build in 2020.His conclusion? Unless you're building quantum computing or genuine deep tech, your technology moat is dead. AI killed it.Here's what makes this different:Roei isn't being dramatic. He built and sold a media company that scaled to 9 million monthly users, worked with the Premier League, NBA, and NFL, and joined the senior management team of a PLC at 26. He's seen what creates lasting value.And his take is clear: product doesn't create defensibility anymore. Network effects do. When every feature can be replicated in weeks, the only moat is how your users create value for each other - and how hard that is to reproduce.You'll learn:Why AI just eliminated technology moats. What took a year to build in 2020 now takes a day. Your 10% optimization? It'll be copied in months. The only defensible businesses are built on network effects and brand—mechanisms competitors can't easily replicate.What network effects actually mean. It's when one user's participation improves the experience for all users. Could be data (more users = better matching), could be multi-sided supply (Roei's fractionals average 3 roles each, solving the liquidity problem), could be customers becoming promoters.How most businesses can access network effects. You don't need to be a marketplace. If you're good at turning customers into promoters—testimonials, LinkedIn posts, word-of-mouth - you're building network effects. The best businesses layer multiple mechanisms.Why hiring full-time is becoming the last resort. Smart founders now think: (1) What can I automate? (2) What requires a fractional specialist? (3) Only then, do I need full-time? This isn't theory - startups on Connected average 3.7 fractionals each.How to solve marketplace liquidity problems when starting. Don't try to build both sides simultaneously - it kills companies. Use SaaS-enabled networks: give one side free tools (dashboards, benchmarking) while you populate the other side. Roei did this launching Connected in the US.Why you shouldn't scale until you nail cohort metrics. Don't worry about growth. Start with 150-200 users. Measure daily active usage, retention, behaviors that drive engagement. Roei invested in Lapse based purely on cohort analysis—they raised £8M seed, then £30M Series A from Greylock. Zero monetization. Just strong network effect metrics.How to identify your specialty if going fractional. Lean into where you deliver tangible results fastest. Not what you're best at. Not what's most fun. Where can you prove ROI in 6 months? That's your first case study. That's how you build track record.Why living out of alignment destroys everything. Roei's real mission isn't about fractional work - it's about helping people live authentically. The reality check:This isn't anti-product. Product still matters. But product alone won't save you when competitors can replicate features in weeks. Network effects create the compounding advantages that turn good products into defensible businesses.If you're building a business in 2026 and you haven't thought about network effects, you're building on sand. AI just raised the stakes.One action: Listen to the end for Roei's hiring sequence every founder should use immediately.More from James: Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com

Podcast: Exploited: The Cyber Truth Episode: The OT Mistakes Attackers Count On—And How to Fix Them Before They DoPub date: 2026-02-12Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security CEO Joseph M. Saunders and OT/ICS security expert Mike Holcomb, founder of UTILSEC, for a candid discussion about the weaknesses attackers exploit inside industrial environments. Mike shares what he repeatedly finds during assessments of large OT and ICS networks: no effective firewall between IT and OT, flat networks with little segmentation, stale Windows domains, shared engineering credentials, exposed HMIs, and OT protocols that will accept commands from any reachable host. He explains how attackers move from IT into OT using familiar enterprise techniques before pivoting into PLCs, RTUs, safety systems, and historians. Joe outlines why secure-by-design practices, higher software quality, and “secure by demand” procurement are critical to long-term resilience—especially as cloud connectivity and AI accelerate modernization in industrial environments. Together, they explore: Why a missing or misconfigured IT/OT firewall remains the most common and dangerous gapHow micro-segmentation and unidirectional architectures reduce blast radiusThe risks of web-enabled HMIs and long-lived legacy systemsWhy monitoring PLC programming traffic and historian queries mattersHow the Cyber Resilience Act is reshaping accountability for OT vendors If you're responsible for industrial operations, plant uptime, or product security, this episode shows how attackers actually move through OT environments—and how to eliminate the mistakes they depend on.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from RunSafe Security, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

How do you move forward with AI in schools when staff confidence is all over the place? Jeff Utecht and Tricia Friedman address one of the most persistent leadership challenges in AI literacy implementation. Within the same faculty, some educators are experimenting confidently with tools and workflows while others feel intimidated, skeptical, or frustrated by rapid change. Jeff and Tricia frame the issue through a mindset-first lens and introduce practical leadership moves grounded in BAKE: balance, adaptability, knowledge sharing, and empathy. The conversation begins with a simple leadership truth: confidence grows through a beginner's stance, repetition, and low-stakes practice, not perfection on day one. Tricia shares a "pumpkin patch" analogy for learning something new and models how leaders can normalize experimentation and productive struggle for staff. From there, the episode explores how leaders can reduce anxiety and build confidence by "level setting" foundational understanding of how AI works. When teachers grasp what is happening under the hood, they are more willing to engage, ask better questions, and try new workflows. A central theme is personalization. Confidence increases when educators connect AI learning to what they already love about teaching, then use AI to enhance that strength rather than asking teachers to adopt tools for their own sake. The hosts also highlight the importance of playful, low-stakes experimentation outside of school contexts, from recipe support to pop-culture research challenges, as a way to learn tool boundaries without the pressure of classroom performance. The episode closes with a clear leadership stance: sustained learning matters. AI capabilities are changing quickly, so professional learning cannot be treated as a one-time training. Adaptability requires ongoing documentation of experiments, time-stamped learning, and renewed emphasis on media literacy as AI becomes more persuasive and more embedded in everyday life. If you are leading AI literacy in a school or district and trying to support both early adopters and hesitant educators, this episode offers a grounded approach to building momentum without fracturing culture. In this episode, you will hear about leading AI literacy when teacher confidence varies widely, progress over perfection and the beginner's stance, differentiated professional learning for AI, foundational understanding of how AI works, low-stakes experimentation that increases staff buy-in, balancing voices of early adopters and skeptics, adaptability as AI tools evolve, and mindset-first change management through the BAKE Framework. Explore the BAKE resources and multiple ways to engage, including a four-week email series, PLC slide decks, a live cohort, and school-wide implementation: https://www.shiftingschools.com/ Our show is edited and produced by Sagheer M.

Tim and Amber recap an energetic week at the A3 Business Forum in Florida and discuss the hard facts behind making business decisions based on data rather than gut feelings. We tackle a frequently asked question regarding how to get products featured on the channel, explaining our "no pay to play" policy and why authenticity is vital for the community. The discussion moves into the nuances of job interviews, specifically how new technicians should research companies to show they are prepared to add value from day one. We also look ahead to PLC integration week, where we cover topics ranging from Ignition SCADA and data logging to industrial networking and troubleshooting on the Rogue Rig. Finally, we highlight an upcoming machine safeguarding seminar featuring the Banner SC10 safety controller.Helping you become a better technician so you will always be in demandNot sure what video to watch next?

Technology modernization in manufacturing is not a list of shiny tools. It is a sequencing problem. In this episode of Manufacturing Hub, Vlad Romanov and Dave Griffith break down why the executive vision for AI often collides with the reality of the plant floor, and what a practical path forward actually looks like when you account for data quality, legacy controls, networking, and the true cost of integration.A core theme in this conversation is imperfect information. Leaders often believe the data already exists because reports exist. But a stack of paper, a few spreadsheets, or a single counter value is not the same as contextualized, trustworthy history that can drive decisions or support advanced analytics. Vlad and Dave walk through why foundational work matters, what teams usually miss during modernization, and how quickly the bill grows when you discover your architecture is outdated, undocumented, or full of dependencies you cannot see until you open panels and start tracing signals.You will also hear a grounded debate on how to think about SCADA, MES, historians, dashboards, and what it would actually mean to “feed data into AI” in a manufacturing context. The takeaway is simple. If you want better outcomes, you need a better understanding of your current state, a clear business case, and a roadmap that prioritizes what matters operationally. Modernization is not one big upgrade. It is a series of decisions that either reduce friction or create it.About the hostsVlad Romanov is an industrial automation and manufacturing expert focused on plant assessments, controls and data architecture, IT and OT integration, and workforce upskilling. Vlad has over 10 years of experience across large manufacturers and complex multi site environments, working from PLC and HMI layers up through SCADA, MES, and ERP integration programs. He is the founder of Joltek, where the mission is to help manufacturers modernize safely, build internal capability, and deliver results that actually survive handoff to operations.Learn more about Joltekhttps://www.joltek.comhttps://www.joltek.com/servicesDave Griffith is an industrial automation practitioner and consultant who works closely with manufacturers to modernize legacy environments, improve reliability, and build practical systems that operators and maintenance teams can support.
