## Summary

Phil Koopman, CTO of Edge Case Research and CMU professor, explains the challenges of developing autonomy standards like UL 4600 and ISO 21448, emphasizing the need to manage 'unknown unknowns' and validate machine learning-based systems without freezing innovation. The episode also features reports on Samsung's 5nm foundry process race against TSMC, Graphcore's IPU architecture for AI acceleration, and the regeneration of Oulu, Finland, into 'Radio Valley' following Nokia's decline.
