AI is becoming the substrate of civilization — but foundations need power
Sponsored Session: Powering PyTorch: Decentralized Training for an Energy-Hungry Future - Greg Osuri (PyTorch)
“In my testimony I’ve given before Congress, I made one claim: AI is becoming the substrate of civilization, and AI is a foundational layer. But foundations only work if the power stays on. We are approaching an energy bottleneck that could limit who gets to build, ship, and even run AI. We can fix that by distributing where, when, and how we compute.” — 00:00:43
