Master AI Chip Principles With New IEEE Design Program
Today’s engineers face an unprecedented acceleration in AI hardware complexity, as explained in the recent research article “Revisiting Edge AI: Opportunities and Challenges.” The article examines the rapid growth of edge AI and the challenges it creates, including resource constraints, model architecture limitations, and network demands across edge-AI deployments.The acceleration is driven by a…
We Need to Embed Ethics Into Our Engineering Courses
In mid-September, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei joined a growing group of researchers calling for the AI industry to slow down. While some have questioned these researchers’ motivation for voicing concerns about the rapid pace of development, the plea highlighted a key tension between safety and speed. The underlying problem is not simply a technical error, but a sociotechnical failure: Pressure to…
IEEE Report Predicts Tech That Will Transform Lives
By 2028, genetic engineering and gene therapy will be used frequently to treat a variety of diseases, thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, according to the recently released 2030 Technology Megatrends Report from IEEE.“We are seeing a fundamental shift in how technology evolves,” says IEEE Fellow Dejan Milojicic, chair of the IEEE Future Directions Committee’s Industry Advisory Board,…

HiPHI: A Large-Scale Benchmark for High-Precision Human Motion and Object Interaction
This White Paper gives robotics researchers and engineers an overview of a new large-scale motion capture dataset built to close the data gap limiting humanoid robot learning. It also shows how policies trained on the dataset transfer to a real humanoid robot.What you will learn about: Why humanoid robot learning, a central problem in embodied AI and Physical AI, needs data that internet video…
Happy IEEE Day!
Happy IEEE Day 2026!IEEE Day is an annual event that celebrates the first time in history when engineers worldwide gathered to share their technical ideas in 1884.One of the IEEE Day’s objectives is to show the ways IEEE members, in local communities, join together to collaborate on ideas that leverage technology for a better tomorrow. IEEE Day 2026 – October 6, 2026. Stay tuned as we continue…
6 Guidelines for Governing AI
For the first 10 years of my career, I worked in product management and data analytics by myself. I wrote database queries that pulled numbers out of corporate systems, built statistical models to predict what customers would buy, and shipped data pipelines that moved information between business systems.I built and scaled analytics teams at Best Buy and Target, studying how customers shop and…
Engineering Multipole Resonances in Dielectric Metasurfaces for Transmission, Reflection, and Absorption Control
Dielectric metasurfaces have moved to the forefront of nanophotonics, offering flat, low-loss alternatives to conventional bulk optical elements for controlling the amplitude, phase, and polarization of light. These structures are of growing interest to researchers and engineers working on sensing, energy harvesting, and flat optics, as their performance hinges on precisely engineered optical…
Electricity Theft Is Rampant, but Delhi Found a Fix
It’s disheartening how much power gets generated and then promptly lost as it travels through grid networks. This leaking of electricity happens when it vanishes as heat as well as when it is pilfered by thieves and nonpaying customers. More than half of the countries that track these metrics lost at least 10 percent of their electricity in 2023, according to the World Bank. Losses topped 20…
IEEE Celebrates Innovators Shaping the Future
