Sensors Converge 2025: Leaders' Roundtable - AI and Sensors: Exploring a Special Symbiosis
AI is transforming the world. From predictive maintenance to content creation, AI is set to push the world into a new era, enabling industries to maximize efficiency, productivity and profitability. Sensors are the core technology for AI. Responsible for the capture and processing of the real-world data used to power AI models, without sensors, AI would not be possible. This roundtable will explore the role of sensors in fueling AI capabilities, and in turn, will examine how AI itself can be utilized in the design and optimization of advanced sensor technologies. Speakers will explore the combined potential of AI and sensor technology in building intelligent and responsive systems across industry, as well as focus on practical applications, recent breakthroughs and future trends that will shape the next generation of smart sensor solutions. Leonard Lee of neXt Curve moderated a Leaders' Roundtable at Sensors Converge 2025 with: ➡️ Simon Ford, President at Blecon ➡️ Azita Arvani, Founder of Arvani Group ➡️ Manuel Cantone, Sr. Director, Product Marketing at STMicroelectronics ➡️ Rob Watts, AI Architect at Intel ➡️ Yuhan Long, Co-founder and CTO of Infermove Please subscribe to our podcast which will be featured on the neXt Curve YouTube Channel.
