Abstract:
The Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies distills key insights from more than 2,000 technologies and applied frameworks that Gartner profiles each year into a succinct set of 25 “must-know” emerging technologies. These technologies have potential to deliver transformational benefits over the next two to 10 years.
Every Hype Cycle includes five phases: The innovation trigger, the peak of inflated expectations, the trough of disillusionment, the slope of enlightenment, and the plateau of productivity.
In this year’s 2024 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, top 25 technologies fall into four key areas: Autonomous AI, Developer Productivity, Total Experience, and Human-centric Security and Privacy programs.
Among the 25 technologies the following stand out:
Machine customers, Humanoid working robots, Prompt engineering, Digital twins, Spatial computing, 6G, Digital immune systems, Federated machine learning, and Homomorphic encryption.
Come and join us for this informative technical talk on the next step in AI .
Speaker Bio:
Dr. William Kao received his BSEE, MSEE and PhD from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He worked in the Semiconductor and Electronic Design Automation industries for more than 30 years holding several senior and executive engineering management positions at Texas Instruments, Xerox Corporation, and Cadence DesignSystems.
Dr. Kao has authored more than 40 technical papers on IC CAD at IEEE Journals and Conferences, and holds eight US software and IC design patents. He was an Adjunct Professor at UCLA Electrical Engineering Department where he taught courses in computer aided IC design.
Dr. Kao is a Senior Member of IEEE, and was one of the founding members of IEEE-Circuits and Systems - Silicon Valley Chapter.
Dr. Kao teaches Clean Technology and Emerging Technology courses at the University of California Santa Cruz, Silicon Valley Extension.
He has given more than 100 technical seminars on various Emerging Technologies including Clean Technology, Renewable Energy, Big Data and Data Analytics, IoT, Smart Cities, Augmented and Virtual Reality, Robotics, Drones, AI / Machine Learning, Robotics, 5G, 3D Printing, the Metaverse and Satellite Communications.
NPQD Technology Enabling Direct-emitting QD Micro-LED Displays
Prior to establishing Saphlux, Dr. Chen was an R&D engineer at Schlumberger, where he successfully developed the ONYX360 rolling cutter, which achieved sales exceeding $1 billion and received both the World Oil Award and the E&P Meritorious Award. Holding over 60 patents, Dr. Chen earned his B.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and received his MBA from Yale University.
To overcome these challenges, Saphlux developed its proprietary NPQD (nanopores with quantum dots) technology. By utilizing electrochemical etching, nanometer-sized pores are formed in gallium nitride, allowing in-situ integration of quantum dots. This innovation significantly improves color conversion efficiency and reliability, enabling two key direct-emitting QD micro-LED applications: NPQD micro-LEDs for public information displays and monolithic full-color AR micro-displays.
Sci-Fi vs. AI Symposium
What kind of visage does science fiction present in the age of AI? Can it still exist? Can it still develop? Perhaps generative AI will become a tool for creating science fiction. Maybe only AI-created science fiction will remain, and human-created science fiction will no longer exist. Or perhaps science fiction will become a major force in critiquing AI. Another related issue is that various drugs, including those treating Alzheimer's, are extending human lifespans. What exactly are humans and AI robots competing over? This symposium, organized by Mirage Magazine to celebrate its anniversary, will have distinguished guests discussing these issues from different perspectives.
