AI Hardware Forum 2024
- Yorktown Heights, New York , USA
About
The fast adoption of Generative AI and Foundation Models is transforming how we compute at scale, and requires bold innovations in hardware and software infrastructure. Continuing to rely on conventional approaches is simply not sustainable and limits accessibility to the technology.
Please join us at the 2024 AI Hardware Forum on November 18 at the T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York.
We will come together to discuss what's next in foundation models and the challenges in designing AI hardware to support complex and multi-modal workloads. There will be presentations from industry leaders, a special panel session, interactive demos by IBM experts, and a poster session showcasing research from leading universities.
