Semiconductors and AI: Architecting the Future

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a software story. Behind every large language model and every AI-powered breakthrough lies a physical substrate — and the race to build it is reshaping the semiconductor industry at its core. This panel brings together voices from the lab and the industry floor to examine the challenge at the heart of the AI era. How has explosive AI demand rewritten what chips need to do — and what it takes to make them? What separates an AI accelerator from everything that came before it? And what does it mean for manufacturing, supply chains, and global competition when demand outpaces the industry's ability to keep up?

From thin film deposition and nanofabrication to fab operations, equipment markets, and national semiconductor strategy, our panelists bring rare depth to questions that will define the next decade of technology. This is not a conversation about chips in the abstract — it is a conversation about the physical foundations of the AI future, and the very real challenges of building them at scale.
