O'Driscoll: Vertical AI apps combining sensors with models are highly defensible
“If you're doing kind of a combination of software and sensors, you've got something that's obviously manifestly different.
You know, you've got maybe visual sensors.
You've got touch sensors.
You got something out there that says, oh, but I ain't going to star…”
Fadell: Ambient smart home AI requires distributed, privacy-preserving physical sensors
“AI needs context. AI needs a lot of context. And in a home, you want to make everything very seamless. And the way you get best context is by having sensors properly placed around the home that don't necessarily invade privacy, but allow you to pick up a lot o…”
Levine: Effective AI Learning Methods Compensate for Deficient Hardware Sensing
“A good learning method can actually like compensate for deficient sensing fairly well.”
Karpathy: AI innovation will move from digital unhobbling to physical interfaces
“First, there's gonna be a huge amount of unhobbling, and I think there's a huge amount of work there. Then, actually, it's going to move to, like, the interfaces between physical and digital. So, and that's, like, sensors of, like, seeing the world and actuato…”
Steinberger: Only apps with physical sensors may survive displacement by AI
“Only the apps that actually have sensors, maybe they survive.”
Freise: Displaced European auto engineers immediately find jobs in defense and sensors
“When the automotive industry is shrinking because of some of the factors you mentioned, those people immediately find jobs in other industries which are growing. Whether that is censors, whether that is defense.”
LineVision can install its transmission grid monitoring sensors in 15 minutes
“We can install our sensors in like, 15 minutes, right?”
Janis: Grid-enhancing tech installs quickly by outfitting existing infrastructure
“It is, it's very low impact, and you can install these things very quickly, I mean, you're not reconductoring. You're not running new lines. You're simply outfitting existing infrastructure with sensors. This can happen really quickly.”
Schimpf: Military sensing is physically limited to five core sensor types
“There's still physics limits to all of this, and you only have like five types of sensors. You're really only going to be talking about. It turns out, you know, you're going to take a picture of something. It's either going to be thermal or it's going to be, y…”
Marinelli: Traction averages $3,000 MRR and 60 sensors per customer
“Well, our average MRR is basically three K per month. So and those customers, they have around 60 sensors as an average.”
Crowley: Clarity factory sensors feature five-year battery and 5km range
“So we have sensors plugged into everything. So these super low cost sensors that have a five year battery Five kilometer range that you can click onto anything in a factory.”
Anthony: Autonomous driving cannot be solved with sensors and LiDAR alone
“You can't solve it with sensors. You can't solve it with compute power. You can't solve it with, ah, ah, LiDAR. You can't solve it by knowing exactly where everything, everything is.”
Wearable sensors have failed to meet clinical trial validation standards
“When I think about, first of all, I would say just in general in sensors is another place where there's been a lot of hype Above what, of expectations. I mean, we've been really trying to explore the use of sensors in clinical trials now for, in my own experie…”
Rachel Kalmar: Automakers are installing biometric sensors to monitor driver drowsiness
“There are a number of car manufacturers who are adding these kinds of sensors in the car, whether for use in driving, looking at drowsiness, et cetera.”
Sparks: Consumer devices will probably adopt DNA or chemical identification
“Looking forward, I think we'll even see probably like DNA ID. I mean, sensors are getting smaller and smaller all the time. You know, you can detect so many different factors, like humans have, you know, unique chemical fingerprints even. So you could have som…”
Governments occasionally degrade GPS sensor accuracy intentionally, says Kathryn McKinley
“Occasionally your government will make the sensors bad on purpose.”
Most data growth to 40 zettabytes by 2020 will originate from sensors
“If you look at the, you know, the forecasts that are going from the 2.8 zettabytes to 40 zettabytes in 2020 that's, most of that data is gonna be coming from sensors, right?”
