How FPGAs become the gatekeepers of Physical AI Security (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our guest this week is Eric Sivertson, VP of Security Business at Lattice. This episode explores why physical AI and humanoids change the security conversation from traditional IT risk to real-world safety risk. Sivertson explains how FPGAs can act as deterministic guardrails for robotic and cyber-physical systems. We discuss why safe is not enough if a robot is also connected, how zero trust and cyber resilience apply on the factory floor, and why hardware needs to verify, monitor, and recover
