Infineon and Archetype to Develop AI Sensor Chipsets

by Max Maxfield

As I may have mentioned on occasion, I love reading science fiction books and watching science fiction films. A couple of tomes that really caught my imagination were A Deepness in the Sky and A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge.

An underlying theme upon which these tales are layered is that our Milky Way galaxy (and, presumably, all other galaxies) is divided into concentric volumes called the “Zones of Thought.” These zones roughly
