[Panel] How to Build Super AI Infrastructures – Data Centres, Chips and Energy

AI is reshaping industries, global markets and productivity paradigms even as  sustainability considerations are spurring  governments, enterprise and industry leaders to examine to foster efficiency and trust.  
 
This session will unpack the critical enablers behind intelligent economies – from secure data and compute to resilient digital finance systems and deep talent pipelines  for a new technological stack built around AI that is increasingly intersecting with quantum, distributed ledger technologies  and green digital infrastructure.  Panellists will examine issues around AI policy readiness, strategic investments and industry sector considerations, what “responsible competitive AI” looks like in practice, and where gaps in deployment, risk management and ethics persist.   Discussants will also consider the role of stakeholders in shaping skills, research ecosystems and innovation frameworks that will define the next era of global competitiveness. 
 
Key Questions to Address: 
- What does “responsible, competitive AI” (and as it intersects with quantum and DLT) look like in practice for a small open economy? 
- How should boards and regulators judge AI investments and risks?  
- What are the gaps and challenges with AI deployments?
