AI Maintenance Is Quietly Saving Trillions: Guide to Predictive & Prescriptive Maintenance – What It Is, Who’s Winning, and How to Start

1) What we mean by “AI‑based maintenance” Predictive maintenance (PdM) forecasts failure risk from condition signals (vibration, temperature, acoustic, current). Prescriptive maintenance goes further by recommending actions, parts, and timing to optimize cost, uptime, and risk. In 2025, the stack typically combines:

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): The Search‑Enhanced AI Revolution in Chatbots and Enterprise Applications

RAG stands for Retrieval-Augmented Generation, a hybrid AI approach that combines a large language model with a search engine or database to fetch external knowledge for grounded, up-to-date answers. In 2025, RAG has emerged as a strategic imperative for modern AI, powering

  • Some quantum computers may require more power than supercomputers
    January 9, 2026, 2:44 AM EST. Quantum computers may require more power than the world's fastest supercomputers, depending on design choices. Most existing machines have fewer than a thousand qubits, the basic units of quantum information, and they suffer from errors. To be genuinely useful, researchers say, they must become FTQCs with many more qubits and robust error correction. At the Q2B Silicon Valley conference, Olivier Ezratty of the Quantum Energy Initiative warned that several FTQC designs scaled to about 4000 logical qubits could consume more energy than today's top systems. The LLNL's El Capitan supercomputer runs at roughly 20 megawatts. Ezratty's estimates place some FTQC designs at up to 200 megawatts, though others could stay under 1 megawatt. Cooling needs and other hardware choices largely drive the variance.
