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.

Sanjana Kamath discusses the practical applications and benefits of Neural Code technology, emphasizing its ability to enhance AI explainability. “The Neural Code enables the creation of shallower Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which preserve privacy and remove bias, making them ideal for data-sensitive environments,” she highlights. Kamath also underscores how Intel's no-code graphical interfaces and edge training capabilities make advanced AI accessible to users across various sectors, without the need for extensive coding expertise.

More EdTech companies are changing hands, at lower prices

Edtech acquisitions reached 149 through August 2026, with four months of the year still to go. In Berkery Noyes’ data, the median disclosed revenue multiple fell from 2.3x to 1.3x, though deals above $160 million carried a median 5.9x in its historical sample.

  • 01Corum Group counted 149 edtech acquisitions through August 2026, and Berkery Noyes’ data shows the median disclosed revenue multiple dropped from 2.3x in the second half of 2025 to 1.3x in the first half of 2026.
  • 02Only 9% of deals disclose terms, so the number to watch is whether disclosed deal value starts rising alongside deal count or stays near $6.5 billion.

A $4 billion repair backlog will now shape Louisiana's college building budgets

A $4 billion repair backlog will now shape Louisiana's college building budgets

A Gordian assessment prepared for the Board of Regents puts the deferred maintenance backlog at Louisiana's public colleges at $4 billion. Buildings in the LSU and University of Louisiana systems average 64 years old, compared with 53 years for the community and technical colleges. Those findings now sit alongside a $1.25 billion capital request covering 73 projects.

  • 01Louisiana's state buildings are 70% concentrated on public postsecondary campuses, making higher education the primary owner of state-owned facility inventory.
  • 02The University of Louisiana System has the largest share of highest-risk buildings (over 50 years old) at 35%, while the community and technical college system leads in low-risk buildings at 22%.
  • 03The $1.25 billion capital outlay request covers 73 construction projects but measures construction and new work, not the $4 billion deferred maintenance backlog, representing different funding categories.

Field of study drives community college certificate earnings test outcomes

Community college degrees almost all pass the new federal earnings test. Certificate results vary more: in Texas, construction trades certificates put students $48,000 ahead while IT certificates left them $21,000 behind.

  • 01Field of study is the sharper question for program review: in Texas, construction certificates beat similar peers by about $48,000 after five years while IT certificates trailed by about $21,000.
