Semiconductor supplier Schunk Xycarb plans big expansion to keep up with Samsung, other chipmakers

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI, space

Construction is set to break ground by the end of this year, and the company expects to move into the new space by the end of 2024. The production facility for semiconductor quartz will include a clean room, high-purity cleaning system and allow them to expand an automation component of their business that they’ve been capitalizing on for years.

“We knew that our customers all over the world were expanding at a rate we couldn’t keep up with,” said Scott Lingren, SXT’s managing director and U.S. chairman. “As you see all these expansions from Samsung in Taylor to Texas Instruments Inc. in the Dallas area to all over the world … we just have to keep up.”

SXT – which is headquartered in the Netherlands and owned by the privately-held Schunk Group in Germany – supplies semiconductor manufacturers around the world, like Samsung, which has had a presence in Central Texas for decades and is potentially adding to its existing Austin campus and its new site in Taylor. Other major players in the industry include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., which is expanding in Arizona, and Intel Corp., which is expanding to Ohio.

How to Lead and Reskill in the Age of AI

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI

How will AI affect businesses and employees? It’s the million-dollar question, and according to Harvard Business School’s Raffaella Sadun, the answer will depend on how well an organization connects the new technologies to both a broad corporate vision and individual employee growth.

One without the other is a recipe for job elimination and fewer new opportunities for all. Luckily, she points out, we are early in our AI journey, and nothing is predetermined. Smart leaders don’t need to understand every technicality of AI. But they do need to identify the best use cases for their specific business and communicate a clear strategy for reskilling their teams.

How to minimize data risk for generative AI and LLMs in the enterprise

Enterprises have quickly recognized the power of generative AI to uncover new ideas and increase both developer and non-developer productivity. But pushing sensitive and proprietary data into publicly hosted large language models (LLMs) creates significant risks in security, privacy and governance. Businesses need to address these risks before they can start to see any benefit from these powerful new technologies.

As IDC notes, enterprises have legitimate concerns that LLMs may “learn” from their prompts and disclose proprietary information to other businesses that enter similar prompts. Businesses also worry that any sensitive data they share could be stored online and exposed to hackers or accidentally made public.

How AI brings greater accuracy, speed, and scale to microsegmentation

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI, security

Microsegmentation is table stakes for CISOs looking to gain the speed, scale and time-to-market advantages that multicloud tech stacks provide digital-first business initiatives.

Gartner predicts that through 2023, at least 99% of cloud security failures will be the user’s fault. Getting microsegmentation right in multicloud configurations can make or break any zero-trust initiative. Ninety percent of enterprises migrating to the cloud are adopting zero trust, but just 22% are confident their organization will capitalize on its many benefits and transform their business. Zscaler’s The State of Zero Trust Transformation 2023 Report says secure cloud transformation is impossible with legacy network security infrastructure such as firewalls and VPNs.
