Overview: Multiscale Manufacturing-Inspection and Failure Analysis Methods for Electronics This meeting will cover laboratory techniques and test methods for a variety of samples from components to PCBA’s and whole commercial devices. A number of familiar analytical techniques will be discussed and demonstrated related to reliability and process inspection, including visual inspection and standard techniques like Ball Shear, X-ray Imaging, CSAM and other standard composite methods. Additionally, more specialized approaches to Failure Analysis, research, and process development will be demonstrated including use of multiple types of electron microscopes, spectroscopy, and Focused Ion Beam analysis for 3D examination of devices on a nano-scale. Advanced MicroAnalytical is part of the EMSL Analytical network. Coming up on 10 years this May, Advanced MicroAnalytical has been delivering in-depth scientific support for a wide range of industries and sample types. Our staff and analytical capabilities are primed to provide leading edge support for industries including, including manufacturing, micro-electronics, nano-fabrication, aerospace and defense, medical devices and more. This meeting will demonstrate the type of work flow associated with finding and understanding problems that challenge attending members – from initial product development choices, through reliability, product support, and customer facing FA efforts. Advanced MicroAnalytical is located in the hub of technology on the East Coast just north of Boston, MA, in Salem NH.

Recent advances in AI have convinced a growing number of experts that these technologies will have a profound impact on the nature of work. But questions of the depth and breadth of this impact remain unanswered: Will AI support or replace workers? Which sectors will be most affected? Are there policies that can improve outcomes for workers in the age of AI? On Thursday, April 25, the Brookings (https://www.brookings.edu/centers/center-on-regulation-and-markets/) will host an event on the transformative impact of AI on labor markets. Panelists Daron Acemoglu (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Daniel Susskind (Oxford University and King’s College London), and Russell Wald (Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence) will begin with a conversation moderated by Anton Korinek (University of Virginia) on the most recent advances in AI and their potential implications for the workforce. We will then explore strategies for steering the labor market effects of AI in a desirable direction in the near term, focusing on policies and practices that can help workers adapt to changing job requirements and ensure that the benefits of AI are distributed broadly. Finally, we will analyze the medium- to long-term threat of AI reaching human-level capabilities, and we will examine how to maintain shared prosperity in a world in which labor markets may experience more fundamental disruption. This event is a part of the Center on Regulation and Markets Series “(https://www.brookings.edu/tags/the-economics-and-regulation-of-artificial-intelligence-and-emerging-technologies/).” Viewers can join the conversation and ask questions of the speakers by emailing events@brookings.edu or on X/Twitter using the hashtag #AIandLabor.
