Powering Intelligence: The Future of AI Through Chips, Energy, and Infrastructure
Tuesday, May 26, 2026
5:00 pm to 6:30 pm PDT
If Artificial Intelligence is often discussed in terms of algorithms, models, and applications, but it's true limiting factor is increasingly physical: compute power and energy availability.
This session with presenter Dr. Rhonda Farrell will explore the next frontier of AI from a chips-and-power perspective, where semiconductor innovation, energy systems, and digital infrastructure converge to determine what is possible, and what is not.
As demand for AI accelerates, organizations and nations face critical questions:
(1) Can chip manufacturing keep pace with exponential compute demand?
(2) How will energy constraints shape AI deployment and scale?
(3) What are the geopolitical and supply chain implications of advanced semiconductors?
(4) How do we design resilient, secure, and sustainable AI infrastructure?
This talk provides a strategic lens across:
· Next-generation chips (GPUs, TPUs, neuromorphic and edge AI architectures)
· Energy consumption and grid impact of hyperscale AI workloads
· Data center evolution and distributed compute models
· Cybersecurity and supply chain risk in AI infrastructure
· Sustainability and governance considerations in powering AI responsibly
Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how compute, energy, and strategy intersect, and what leaders must do now to position for the next wave of AI-enabled transformation.
