Google: Monetizing the Automatrix – Rerun

As we move towards the “Automatrix,” the newly forming digital environment for self-driving and wireless charging transportation, Google looks to situate its search/advertising business at its center.

AI and the Rise of Networked Robotics

The 2004 movie I, Robot was quite prescient. Directed by Alex Proyas and named after the short story by science fiction legend Isaac Asimov, the cyberpunkish tale set in the year 2035 revolves around a policeman, played by Will Smith. He is haunted by memories of being saved from drowning by a robot in a […]

How Do Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Use APIs and Web Scraping to Collect Data? Implications for Net Neutrality

In both AI and Big Data applications, data networks are fundamental to the efficient gathering of information. High speed communications enable the seamless transfer of data between different sources, applications, and cloud locations, contributing to the overall effectiveness of AI models and Big Data analytics. APIs and web scraping are two techniques that are used to gather information from data networks.

Networking Connected Vehicles in the Automatrix

Networking of connected vehicles draws on a combination of public-switched wireless communications, GPS and other satellites, and Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) that directly connect autos with each other and roadside infrastructure.

Wireless Charging Infrastructure for EVs: Snack and Sell?

The strategy behind wireless charging will probably focus more on what WiTricity has coined “power snacking” than full meals. Snacking is actually better for your battery. The snacking can be done by a waiting taxi, a bus stopping for a queue of passengers, and perhaps cars waiting at a red light. Shopping centers are likely locations to “capture” customers with charging stalls, especially if they have their own micro-grids with solar panels on the roof. Infrastructure has been tested to charge these cars while even in motion.

Korea in a Post Covid-19 World, Part 3: The Green New Deal

I examine Korea’s concerns about its quality of life and some of its plans for addressing related economic and environmental issues. Despite impressive economic growth and infrastructure development, the country suffers from congested highways, industrial waste, and regular occurrences of high particle content in its air. Consequently, the Moon administration embraced a Green New Deal in mid-July 2020 to address these issues and pursue opportunities for green growth industries with export potential.

Korea in a Post Covid-19 World, Part 2: Merging Digital and Green New Deals

This post continues the discussion of the recent responses by Korea to the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic repercussions. It introduces the Digital New Deal and helps transition to the Green New Deal.

Korea in a Post-Covid-19 World, Part 1: The Korean New Deal

The New Deal term has circulated extensively in the wake of the concerns about climate change and more recently in thinking about a COVID-19 epidemic.
