Epic Systems’ Succession Plan, Disease Detection by Scent, Instagram’s Map Privacy Flaws, Applied Materials’ Stock Drop, China’s Robot Olympics Failures
Introduction:
In this episode, we dive into five compelling stories shaping technology and innovation today. First, we explore Epic Systems and its 82-year-old CEO Judy Faulkner’s unconventional succession plan to maintain control over the company and its vast database of 325 million patient records. Next, we uncover the fascinating science behind disease detection through body odor, from dogs’ uncanny ability to sniff out cancer to AI developments mimicking human olfactory receptors. Then, we examine Instagram’s new Map feature, which, despite a wide rollout, remains mostly empty but raises serious privacy and safety concerns that Instagram’s head, Adam Mosseri, is now addressing. Following that, we analyze why Applied Materials’ stock plunged after a strong earnings report, focusing on challenges from U.S. export controls and a dim outlook for its China business. Finally, we take a look at China’s “Robot Olympics,” an event marked by spectacular robot failures that nonetheless play a crucial role in advancing humanoid robotics by bridging the gap between simulation and real-world performance.
