Description

GABA NextGen presents: The Energy Challenge of Scaling AI

As AI models grow in capability and adoption, their energy demands are scaling rapidly—raising urgent questions around efficiency, sustainability, and long-term viability. In this NextGen event, we explore how next-generation AI systems—across both hardware and algorithmic design—can unlock more compute while consuming less power. Join us for an in-depth conversation with leading thinkers at the forefront of AI architecture and chip design. Discover how advances in custom hardware, alternative compute paradigms, and smarter model architectures could reshape the future of scalable, energy-conscious artificial intelligence.

We are proud to present this event in collaboration with JHTC.
