One feature that I find really intriguing is Apple Spatial Scenes. It uses on-device GenAI to convert a 2D photo into a faux volumetric image. It’s a clever application that creates a volumetric effect which 2D to 3D does not.

The hardware engineering of the Galaxy Z Fold7 is remarkable pushing the limits of compact design and thermal efficiency. A vital enabler for such a thin foldable design is undoubtedly the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy by Qualcomm.

Sensors Converge 2025: Leaders' Roundtable - AI and Sensors: Exploring a Special Symbiosis AI is transforming the world. From predictive maintenance to content creation, AI is set to push the world into a new era, enabling industries to maximize efficiency, productivity and profitability. Sensors are the core technology for AI. Responsible for the capture and processing of the real-world data used to power AI models, without sensors, AI would not be possible. This roundtable will explore the role of sensors in fueling AI capabilities, and in turn, will examine how AI itself can be utilized in the design and optimization of advanced sensor technologies. Speakers will explore the combined potential of AI and sensor technology in building intelligent and responsive systems across industry, as well as focus on practical applications, recent breakthroughs and future trends that will shape the next generation of smart sensor solutions. Leonard Lee of neXt Curve moderated a Leaders' Roundtable at Sensors Converge 2025 with: ➡️ Simon Ford, President at Blecon ➡️ Azita Arvani, Founder of Arvani Group ➡️ Manuel Cantone, Sr. Director, Product Marketing at STMicroelectronics ➡️ Rob Watts, AI Architect at Intel ➡️ Yuhan Long, Co-founder and CTO of Infermove Please subscribe to our podcast which will be featured on the neXt Curve YouTube Channel. Check out the audio version on BuzzSprout - https://nextcurvepodcast.buzzsprout.com or find us on your favorite Podcast platform. Also, subscribe to the neXt Curve research portal at www.next-curve.com for the tech and industry insights that matter.

AI is transforming the world. I had a chance to moderate a fantastic panel at Sensors Converge 2025 with AI, MEMS, and sensor experts on the symbiosis that is forming between AI and sensor tech.

The AI Revolution Isn’t Real (Yet): Why the Stack Is Still Broken Everyone's hyping the AI revolution — but is it really delivering value yet? In this conversation, Leonard Lee breaks down the stark reality behind the current state of AI: We're drowning in GPUs and infrastructure spend The applications layer is still fuzzy and unproven Enterprise adoption is opaque Agent AI might be shrinking capability, not expanding it We're still dealing with hallucinations The grid, the network, and the economics don’t add up Plus, are we all just trapped in a FOMO feedback loop? 📌 If you're wondering where the real ROI of AI is hiding — or if we’re about to hit a serious trough of disillusionment — this one’s for you. #AI #Infrastructure #AgentAI #Telco #GPT #FOMO #LeonardLee #TechAnalysis #AIstack

I had a great conversation with Stephen Saunders of
Fierce Network TV on the topic of the AI Revolution and the irony that it must overcome to really have a differentiated impact.
