Jonathan Rosenfeld Leader of the FundamentalAI Group, MIT FutureTech
The rapid rise of foundation models and real-time inference is transforming the scale and nature of compute demand, outpacing historical trends and stressing existing infrastructure. This session explores how the evolution of modern AI workloads is driving the need for new data center strategies, including decisions around compute scaling, energy use, system architecture, and geographic deployment. It will also examine how research and innovation at the intersection of AI and compute economics are shaping the future of infrastructure planning.
