In this episode of To the Edge and Beyond, host Michelle Dawn Mooney explores how Intel’s AI solutions are revolutionizing education. Joined by Chris O’Malley, General Manager of Intel’s Health, Education & Consumer Industries; Bharath Srivats, Marketing Manager at Intel; and Paulo Costa, VP of Sales at Critical Links, the conversation delves into the transformative power of AI in education, particularly in emerging markets.

The discussion highlights Intel’s on-device, offline AI models, which enable personalized learning paths for students while reducing dependency on cloud infrastructure. “AI tutors have the potential to shift learning outcomes by providing customized feedback and pacing,” says Chris O’Malley. This innovation addresses the long-standing challenge of scaling one-on-one tutoring to large classrooms.

Paulo Costa emphasizes the importance of bridging the digital divide: “Emerging markets need cost-effective, offline AI solutions to empower students and teachers without reliable internet access.” Critical Links’ C3 Micro Cloud, powered by Intel Core Ultra processors, is designed for exactly this purpose. This robust system delivers AI capabilities tailored for rural and underserved schools, ensuring data privacy, local adaptability, and resilience to challenging environments.

Intel’s Core Ultra processors bring groundbreaking performance and affordability, enabling smaller institutions to deploy AI at scale. “We’ve reduced latency by five times and increased throughput by over two times, making AI accessible even in resource-constrained environments,” Costa adds.

The episode also underscores the collaboration between Intel and partners like Critical Links to ensure technology addresses educational challenges. “It’s not just about innovation,” says O’Malley. “It’s about creating solutions that genuinely transform learning experiences for students worldwide.”

Uber cut 3,300 jobs in September. Now it is giving 30,000 employees ChatGPT

Uber cut 3,300 jobs in September. Now it is giving 30,000 employees ChatGPT

Uber deployed ChatGPT Work to more than 30,000 employees seven weeks after cutting about 3,300 jobs (10% of corporate staff). The company framed layoffs as organizational restructuring, while the rollout expands a pilot that embedded AI engineers with teams to automate pieces of their work.

  • 01Uber expanded ChatGPT Work from a 1,000-person pilot to over 30,000 employees across operations, finance, marketing, and product teams.
  • 02During the pilot, 80% of early adopters were non-engineers, and AI pods of 30 engineers paired with teams to automate work such as analyzing operational data, localizing training materials, and building dashboards.
  • 03Uber’s rollout shows AI deployments can go beyond licenses: curated integrations, embedded technical support, an internal skills library, and plans to measure adoption and outcomes.

PHP2Shell: two critical PHP flaws put 34 million web services on the clock

PHP2Shell: two critical PHP flaws put 34 million web services on the clock

Two critical unauthenticated remote code execution flaws in PHP (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) with CVSS 9.2 scores affected 34.4 million vulnerable services as of October 23, with no patches available for PHP 8.1 and older. Exploitation attempts reached millions within hours of disclosure, though confirmed compromises remain unproven, while attackers tested a Mirai-derived botnet variant against production servers.

  • 0134.4 million PHP services were vulnerable to the remote code execution flaws as of October 23, with roughly 272,000 hosts running supported branches that received patches
  • 02PHP 8.1 and older versions have no official patch available, requiring migration to a supported branch or acceptance of backported fixes from Linux distributions
  • 03Exploit attempts grew from tens of thousands within 45 minutes of disclosure to millions by October 22, but ASLR and proper error-display configuration on production servers have so far prevented confirmed code execution

Two-phase cold plates run in desert heat on warm water loops

Two-phase cold plates run in desert heat on warm water loops

UNICOM Engineering chief technologist Austin Hypes compares rear door, single-phase, two-phase and immersion cooling for AI racks on Flawless Execution. He says two-phase cold plates use dielectric refrigerant and can avoid chillers and evaporative towers in hot, dry sites, and immersion can keep servers up ten to 15 minutes and sometimes an hour or more after a cooling loss. Schneider Electric engineers cite estimates that single-phase holds about 55% of the 2026 liquid cooling market.

  • 01A Motivair by Schneider Electric engineer puts single-phase cold plates at an estimated 55% of the 2026 liquid cooling market and expects them to dominate for five to 10 years.
