Optics for AI Compute Era: Opportunities and Potential Disruptions
Generative AI is gaining market momentum while AI Compute drives accelerated high bandwidth optical connectivity upgrades. On one hand, conventional pluggable optics suppliers are gaining huge boost from recent AI compute data center build-out by hyper data center operators; on the other hand, the accelerated AI compute is also driving potential disruption with architectures requiring high bandwidth density optical solutions integration deeper into compute and memory nodes with new technology like co-packaged optics. In this workshop, we will have invited speakers to discuss their view of AI-driven opportunities and potential disruptions to the optical industry, with representatives from AI data center operators, incumbent major optical suppliers, and new start-up companies focusing on disruptive solutions for AI.
All are welcome to hear a select panel of industry experts present and answer questions on this year’s hot topic. Networking dinner offsite will follow the event.
Please RSVP for this event here to let us know you will be attending.
Partners: Optica, China International Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE) and Infostone
