Positioning to catch the fourth wave of Computing … And the second wave of AI

Abstract: Times of technology and industry transition are marked by tremendous opportunity and risk.  Advances in semiconductor technology, edge/cloud computing, and rise of Artificial Intelligence are enabling great leaps in computing applications today, but also confronting technical challenges to further advancement tomorrow.  Power constraints, system architecture, security, and other challenges are substantial, but the principles by which earlier computing waves innovated to overcome their own significant challenges point the way forward at the start of the fourth wave of in computing.
