Thankfully, I was given the incredible opportunity to participate in several shows and events this month—The Battery Show 2024 in Detroit, the Werner Electric Cybersecurity Summit, and the New Digital Alliance Summit. These dense experiences provided me with a broader view, allowing me to understand how different industries communicate and operate, much like seeing the forest before focusing on the trees. One thing I deeply learned by heart is that AI is undeniably a new and unknown frontier. But if we just think from a slightly different angle, we can be the leaders in this space. The obstacles we face aren’t truly obstacles, once we feel and connect that AI is our inevitable path forward. Every challenge becomes just another step in our journey. Whether it’s aligning AI with existing systems, managing cybersecurity risks, or integrating AI in manufacturing processes like battery production, these are all simply steps toward our ultimate goal. By embracing this attitude, I believe we move beyond hurdles and position ourselves as pioneers in the AI revolution.

Engineering Emotions: that’s what we do at June20. At Think NXT, we explored five key trends shaping the future of experiences: 1️⃣ 5G: Lightning-fast connectivity that brings everything closer. 2️⃣ AI: Smart tech enabling personal and impactful interactions. 3️⃣ Cyber resilience: Trust as the foundation of connection. 4️⃣ Industry 4.0: A mindset shift where digital experiences in the workplace become just as important as those for customers. 5️⃣ Digital sovereignty: Empowering organizations to retain control over their data and digital ecosystems in an increasingly interconnected world. A big thank you to Anne-Sophie Lotgering for clearly and inspiringly outlining these trends. #EngineeringEmotions #ThinkNXT #Innovation #DigitalSovereignty #CustomerExperience #June20

By the next 12-18 months (depending on macroeconomics and geopolitics), a seismic shift is going to happen in AI hardware, and the war to control semiconductors will heat up. While Nvidia with its dominance over the B2B and LLM market is enjoying being the hardware king, it shipped less than 4 million powerful and pricey units last year. The volume and the average user's adoption of AI will exponentially increase, and that requires efficient, local, cloud-independent applications for security, privacy and compliance. Examples include Small Language Models that run on-device or solutions like Guacamole for automating session security. In comparison, Intel sells around 2 billion units - over 500 times Nvidia's volume. Don't get caught up in the current news - deep below the surface, the tides are shifting. Intel's high-volume chips are making mass adoption of AI possible, and I'm proud that our team plays a major role in shaping the future of human-machine interaction.
