This episode of To the Edge & Beyond is Part 2 of the Edge Neural Technology series, where host Michelle Dawn Mooney is joined by Intel AI experts Zach Meicler-Garcia, Sanjana Kamath, and Sanjay Addicam to explore the groundbreaking advancements in Intel's Edge Neural Technology. This episode delves into the inception, functionality, and far-reaching impact of Neural Code technology, a revolutionary approach to AI model building and training that is reshaping industries like healthcare and education.

Zach Meicler-Garcia begins by tracing the origins of Neural Code technology, which draws inspiration from Dr. Sheila Nirenberg's pioneering research at Weill Cornell Medicine. “The neural code mimics the human retina's behavior, extracting key features from a scene and converting them into a format that AI can process efficiently,” Garcia explains. This technology reduces reliance on large datasets by focusing on motion and essential features, making it an innovative solution for AI model creation with minimal data inputs.

Michigan's $250M Detroit innovation center is built with Detroit, not for it

Michigan's $250M Detroit innovation center is built with Detroit, not for it

The University of Michigan Center for Innovation, a $250 million facility opening in downtown Detroit in 2027, is designing its workforce programs with community input rather than for the community. Led by director of community engagement Lutalo Sanifu, UMCI is piloting curricula across climate action, urban technology, advanced manufacturing and other fields through focus groups and workshops while the building is under construction.

  • 01UMCI is conducting focus groups and pilot courses before opening to shape curriculum with residents, moving the end-of-course survey to the front.
  • 02Workforce development begins at age 14 and continues into adulthood, stacking micro-credentials and badges into larger certifications tied to employer hiring needs.
  • 03UMCI operates as a startup inside a large institution, with multiple U of M colleges jointly building curriculum around smart cities and urban technology across youth, workforce and graduate learners.

Scott Shireman, who leads the University of Michigan Center for Innovation (UMCI), moved from the Bay Area to help position Detroit as a destination for talent. His strategy centers on a collaborative network linking the university with Wayne State, Michigan Central and TechTown to support Detroit's revival and sustain the University of Michigan's elite standing.

  • 01Scott Shireman's career took a significant detour to Coursera, where scaling a global enterprise in the tech startup world gave him what he likened to 'a second MBA.'
  • 02UMCI's strategy involves forging connections with local institutions like Wayne State, Michigan Central, and TechTown to build a cohesive ecosystem that attracts and retains top talent.
  • 03Shireman aims to attract and retain top talent by building a collaborative ecosystem that turns Detroit into a 'destination city' melding talent with opportunity.
