Supercomputers for Trusted AI

On January 29, join a high-level strategic dialogue exploring the intersection of High-Performance Computing and Physical AI, and the infrastructure foundations shaping the post-hyperscaler era.
Info & tickets

Moving beyond the headlines of Generative AI, this dialogue turns to the foundation of what comes next: the infrastructure. We invite you to this exclusive strategic dialogue exploring the intersection of High-Performance Computing and Physical AI.

Join the leading voices from Switzerland, Prof. Dr. Torsten Hoefler, Professor of Computer Science at ETH Zürich and Chief Architect for Machine Learning at CSCS, and Prof. Dr. John Lygeros, Professor of Computation and Control at ETH Zürich and Director of the NCCR Automation as they discuss the strategic roadmap for the post-hyperscaler era; building systems that are not only powerful enough to learn, but robust enough to be trusted with our critical reality.
