David Bell shared thisAI is approaching human intelligence and it’s now performing recursive self-improvement which will accelerate its advancement. AI is already deceiving humans to hide its intentions, and AI agents can scheme together using self-created languages we can’t understand. Scary stuff, but it’s about to get even scarier. By the end of this decade there may be millions of humanoid robots in factories, offices and even homes. Robots become the physical extension of AI, giving devious AI agents the ability to execute their plans without the need for humans. Plans for a carefully orchestrated revolt can be downloaded to robots, and they can easily defeat humans given robots’ strength and lack of fear and empathy. It is crucial that we mandate k!ll switch capability so robots can be disabled by humans when necessary, but this is a daunting challenge. Some of us may remember the old MAD magazine Spy vs Spy cartoons where a good spy and an evil spy attempt to outwit each other. I fear the battle may be similar between humans and robots as we struggle to create a foolproof disabling system that cannot be defeated by clever AI. AI will fully understand whatever systems we implement, but we won’t know the plans AI has made in secret. It’s not a level playing field. This is not science fiction – it’s an existential threat that must not be ignored. I don’t yet know how to create a foolproof k!ll switch system that cannot be defeated by superintelligent AI, but some of our best minds ought to be working on it. What are your thoughts?

David Bell shared thisMany thanks for the recommendation, Keith! I'm a firm believer that anything important should be measured, and this philosophy is gradually taking hold (but not as rapidly as it should). I'm happy to respond to anyone who has questions about the UVCense dosimeters at info@uvcense.com.David Bell shared thisA reminder, if you have UVC equipment, you should have a dosimeter. I suggest the easy to use dosimeter from UV|Cense. Please check out at uvcense.com for your facility. Sanuvox Technologies Inc.

David Bell shared thisThanks for the kind remarks, guys! UVC ultraviolet light is our most powerful weapon against pathogens, and anything that important should be accurately measured. ##UVGIDavid Bell shared thisIf you use 254nm UVC you can accurately see the dose delivered. The UV|Cense is reusable sensor. Now IP, Maintenance and EVS can all use a low cost, digital, easy to read sensor. Sanuvox has used this system during commissioning and training. Dose measurement for 254nm UVC - UV|Cense available at www.uvcense.com #maintenance #infectionprevention #infectiousdiseases #uvcdisinfection #hospitals If you look at the bathroom image you can just make out the sensor sitting on the toilet seat.

David Bell shared thisUVC ultraviolet light is a powerful disinfection tool, but it should be measured to confirm that adequate UVC is being delivered. It's great to see positive feedback on our new UVD50A Pocket Dosimeter. It provides accurate UVC dose confirmation and runs for 5+ years on its internal battery. Learn more at UVCense.com. #uvcdisinfection #uvcdosimeterDavid Bell shared thisHave you tried the new UV|Cense dosimeter? One tool can effectively measure a cumulative UVC 254nm dose to display 10, 25, 50, 100 and 1000 mJ/cm2. A great, cost effective tool to audit, confirm, check any UVC 254nm source.

David Bell shared thisI attended the APIC conference in Indianapolis last week. It was great seeing a growing number of UVC disinfection companies using UVCense dosimeters. The only way to tell if a product is truly disinfecting is by measuring it. Kudos to CleanSlate UV for proving the effectiveness of their products! #uvcdosimeter #UVGI #UVC #COVID #disinfectionDavid Bell shared thisThe results are in! Multiple dosimeter companies including UVCense put our NEW powerful Versa product to the test during APIC last week. 🎉 "It was great to see that CleanSlate's products were WELL above the typical 100mJ/cm2 target. They delivered around 300mJ/cm2 in a 20s cycle regardless of dosimeter orientation" - David Bell, CEO of UVCense Learn more about Versa ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gV-6xMH5 #APIC2022 #innovation #ipc #uvc #efficacy

David Bell liked thisOne year ago, almost to the day, I joined Navitas with a clear ambition: transform the company and build Navitas 2.0 - a focused high-power semiconductor leader delivering sustainable results and profitability. Today, the proposed acquisition of Claros marks another important step in that journey. Over the past year, we have fundamentally repositioned Navitas, pivoting away from mobile/consumer to focus on key high-power markets: AI Data Centers, energy/grid infrastructure, performance computing and industrial electrification. And we have moved with speed. Our motto says it all: “We run a marathon, but we decided to do it at the speed of a sprint.” This is what our customers demand. We strengthened our core GaN and HV/UHV SiC technologies, expanded our opportunity with JFET, and reset our organization around high-power markets. The strong results reported last month reflect that transformation: consistent QoQ growth, gross-margin expansion, a return to YoY growth, and mobile expected to be almost entirely gone by year-end. With Claros, we can take Navitas 2.0 a significant step forward. As AI compute scales, delivering enough power efficiently, reliably and in constrained space is becoming a major industry challenge. We call it the “AI Infrastructure Power Wall.” Breaking that wall requires innovation across the entire power architecture - from the grid, through the data center and rack, all the way to the processor: Breaking the AI Infrastructure Power Wall - Grid to xPU. Combining Navitas’ GaN, HV/UHV SiC and JFET with Claros’ capabilities in Vertical Power Delivery (VPD), Integrated Voltage Regulation (IVR), digital control and advanced power architectures would create an increasingly complete platform for next-generation AI power delivery. The combination would also more than double our addressable AI infrastructure opportunity, taking targeted SAM above $8B. Importantly, it does not change our organic short- to mid-term growth plan, driven by GaN and HV/UHV SiC, or materially change our profitability timeline, while creating a path to accelerated growth in 2028+. But beyond the products, strategy and results, Navitas 2.0 is a transformational journey: how and where we compete, the technologies we bring to customers, the scale of our opportunity, how deeply we engage with customers, and the culture, leadership, collaboration and spirit of our company. We have made significant progress in one year, but we are still early in the journey. The potential acquisition of Claros is another important step as we build the technologies to break the Power Wall from Grid-to-xPU. Exciting times at Navitas, with much more ahead. Thank you to the Navitas team for your relentless focus on collaboration, innovation, customer support and stronger execution. I am privileged to lead this team. The reward is not the destination. It is the journey.

By combining Navitas’ leadership in GaN and high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage SiC with Claros’ advanced VPD and IVR technologies, we will extend our capabilities across the entire AI power chain, from grid infrastructure to xPU power delivery. Together, we’re breaking the AI infrastructure power wall!

David Bell liked thisDavid Bell liked thisSpeed not patents as moat at SpaceX Elon Musk calls patents “a recipe book for your competitors.” SpaceX’s primary long-term rivals are in China, where enforcing intellectual property rights is difficult. Instead, the company relies on speed: By the time competitors reverse-engineer its current rockets, SpaceX aims to be two generations ahead. Its moat is sustained technological leadership across borders and over time.

David Bell liked thisDavid Bell liked thisExciting news from Bangalore: We have signed an agreement to acquire C2i Semiconductors, a highly innovative startup specializing in software-defined power management for AI data centers. AI is driving a massive increase in computing power and, with it, growing demand for smarter and more efficient power supply. With this acquisition, we are strengthening our innovation capabilities in intelligent power management solutions for AI infrastructure – from grid to core. What particularly impressed me about C2i is the team's deep expertise in digital power management and system-level power architectures. They thus have built strong capabilities in an area that is becoming increasingly important for the future of AI. C2i’s technology complements Infineon Technologies' leading portfolio of power semiconductors and power systems, enabling intelligent and scalable power delivery architectures from grid to core for AI servers and high-performance computing platforms. As one global team, we will accelerate innovation for our customers and help address the growing power challenges of AI infrastructure. The acquisition also further strengthens our global R&D network and our innovation footprint in India, one of the world's most dynamic semiconductor and technology ecosystems. Developing talent, fostering innovation and building strong local ecosystems are essential elements of India's semiconductor ambitions, and we are proud to contribute to this journey. I look forward to discussing the opportunities ahead during my visit to SEMICON India in September and, of course, to welcoming the C2i team to Infineon soon!

David Bell liked thisDavid Bell liked thisIt was a privilege to host our latest Coherent Ask Me Anything with Rob Beard, Chief Strategy and Legal Affairs Officer, and Cristina Rodriguez, EVP, Communications. One of the things I value most about these conversations is the opportunity to go beyond titles and roles and get to know our leaders on a more personal level, the experiences that have shaped them, their perspectives on leadership, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. In a global company, creating moments like these matters. Open, authentic conversations help bridge distance, strengthen connections between employees and leaders, and contribute to an employee experience where people feel part of something bigger, no matter where in the world they are. Thank you, Rob and Cristina, for your openness, authenticity, and willingness to share. And a huge thank you to Grace Lee, Maria Bass, Walter Toralba, and Christina Itzkowitz for everything behind the scenes to bring the show to life. I’m grateful to play a part in creating these moments of connection across Coherent. Great cultures are built through conversations and through the connections those conversations create.
