The Weekly Briefing podcast: An interview with Keith Jackson, who in 2002 was named CEO of On Semiconductor, basically the shell of what had been Motorola’s Semiconductor Component Group, and grew it into a Fortune 500 company. He just announced his retirement. Also, we talk with Intel Mobileye executive Jack Weast about a new formalized approach to safer autonomous driving. And, what to expect at the IoT Security Virtual Conference & Expo.

The Weekly Briefing podcast: We interview Georgia Tech professor Ayanna Howard. Howard is an expert in AI, in robotics, and in how people relate to technology. Also, there’s been a lot of innovative new semiconductor memories, which have not seen a lot of sales – at least not yet. EE Times contributor Gary Hilson covers the memory market; we talk to him about emerging memories. Also, EE Times Editor Nitin Dahad on what to expect from the Boards and Solutions Conference coming up in October.

The Weekly Briefing podcast: There are scores of companies making AI chips, but Mythic stands out with its approach to AI inference that relies on analog computing techniques – an interview with Mythic co-founder and CEO Mike Henry. Also, Nvidia finally announced it will be buying Arm, a few weeks after the first reports that such a deal might be pending. We weren’t sure if it was a good deal then, and we’re not sure it’s a good deal now – a conversation with Tirias Research analyst Kevin Krewel...

Cameras are already nearly everywhere recording images, but machine vision takes it all to a new level — vision implies machines actually seeing (or “seeing,” if you prefer). We talk with machine vision expert Jeff Bier about how embedded vision systems are on the verge of becoming ubiquitous. Also, distribution is about as a prosaic a business as exists. We talk with Jens Gamperl about how his company, Sourceability, is shaking up a business where innovation is uncommon.

The Weekly Briefing podcast: What makes engineers tick? We’ve been doing these surveys, called the Mind of the Engineer, every two years going on nearly three decades now. Jim Warrick of Beacon Technology Partners did the most recent survey for us, and it is chock-full of useful data. We talk with Jim about what’s behind the numbers. Also, the electronics industry loves to establish benchmarks — and then trash them for being insufficient for one reason or another. Junko talks with Ian Riches, wh...
