NGINEERS LECTRONICS FOR December/Janaury 2026 In this issue


For the first time in Electronics For Engineers we are honing in on the technology of Artificial Intelligence. In this magazine, and again at various points throughout the year we will look at not only the uses and impacts of AI (Page 19), but also at some of the infrastructure needed for the process of Artificial intelligence to exist in the first place. (Pages 16 & 18)
