AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Physical AI Push: LG and Nvidia formalized plans to build a humanoid robot using Nvidia’s Isaac GR00T and Jetson Thor, with LG supplying sensors, actuators and batteries—plus a major AI computing facility in South Korea aimed to scale real-world robotics. Battery Supply Chain Shuffle: GM backed out of a joint EV battery venture in Indiana after Samsung SDI bought its stake, while GM restarted production at its Ohio battery venture after a shutdown—moves tied to slower EV demand and inventory adjustments. School Sports Tech & Policy: The TSSAA board will meet Aug. 17 to discuss reclassification using 2025-26 enrollment data, along with possible tweaks to basketball district tournament formats and other student-athlete participation rules. Healthcare Admin Tech: A new Medicare model, WISeR, is being tested in six states to use AI for prior authorization reviews, raising concerns about delays or denials for patients. Local Tech & Privacy: Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs criticized Flock license-plate reader systems as “Orwellian,” arguing they go beyond plates by using AI to build vehicle movement profiles. STEM in the Community: UT Arboretum’s Butterfly Festival returns Aug. 29 with insect education, viewing tents, speakers, and family activities. Workforce Training: TCAT-McMinnville highlighted its new Coffee County campus expansion to local business leaders, focusing on career-focused technical programs.
