AI Compute Summit

The Economist's AI Compute Summit convenes technology executives, policy officials and infrastructure leaders to debate the contest for AI computing capacity. With AI-specialist chips, data-centre land and grid power all in short supply, this single-day conference explores how scarcity, sovereignty and geopolitical competition are reshaping the infrastructure layer that AI companies depend on. Sessions cover GPU access bottlenecks, sustainable data-centre design, energy capacity constraints and the regulatory choices that will determine which companies — and which nations — lead the next phase of AI development. A high-calibre room: senior operators and policymakers, not a generic tech crowd.
