A team of engineers has developed a multi-robot system that enables machines to operate with a “collective brain,” coordinating tasks, navigating complex environments, and avoiding obstacles autonomously. Unlike conventional robots that work in isolation, this system allows robots to function as a cohesive unit, executing complex operations more efficiently and safely. The concept of a collective brain allows robots to share information about their environment, positions, and assigned tasks. This real-time exchange enables them to adapt to changing conditions or unexpected obstacles, much like social insects such as ants, which achieve remarkable results through collective behavior. In robotics, however, this…

In this year’s “Ecommerce Conversations,” I’ve occasionally shared my experiences owning and operating Beardbrand, the direct-to-consumer brand I launched a decade ago. To date, I’ve addressed hiring, branding, profit-building, priority-setting, exiting, and overcoming a million-dollar loss. In this installment, I share what I believe is the best bootstrapped ecommerce model and why others should consider it. My entire audio dialog is embedded below. The transcript is condensed and edited for clarity. Building a D2C brand is hard. Developing and selling products is a grind. A better path is a bootstrapped, sustainable business where you spend less than you make and…

Medical imaging plays a vital role in diagnosing diseases, planning treatments, and monitoring patient health. However, training computer programs to analyze these images accurately usually requires thousands of expertly labeled examples, a process that is slow, expensive, and often limited by privacy concerns. GenSeg is a new generative AI framework that is transforming this landscape by drastically reducing the amount of expert-labeled data needed to build effective medical image analysis tools. It can create high-quality, realistic synthetic medical images along with precise labels, allowing doctors and researchers to develop powerful models even when data is scarce. This approach aligns with…

America’s new stablecoin law could lead to billions of dollars in annual savings for enterprise retailers that issue their own digital money. When President Trump signed the bipartisan Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act into law in July 2025, America became the first nation to provide a regulatory framework for the issuance and oversight of secure, fiat-backed digital currencies. “This bill will cement U.S. dollar dominance, protect customers, increase demand for U.S. treasuries, and ensure that innovation in the digital asset space is in the hands of the United States of America, not our adversaries,” said…

For two decades, search has driven ecommerce. Whether through Google, Amazon, or on‑site, the sequence was simple: a shopper types a query, compares results, and makes a purchase. Search engine marketing, organic and paid, enhanced performance. That model is evolving. Generative AI “agents” can now help shoppers compare products, prices, and options, often in a single conversational step. Shoppers initiate the interactions; agents then search relevant sites and respond based on the query, past preferences, and purchase history. What Is Agentic Shopping? “Agentic” refers to autonomous systems that can independently act and decide. Agentic shopping uses AI agents —  ChatGPT,…
