The Future of AI: Scaling Intelligence, Open-Source Innovation, and Human-AI Collaboration

Join us for an exclusive fireside chat with Ali Farhadi, CEO of AI2, as we explore the next frontier of artificial intelligence — from scaling models efficiently to the transformative power of open-source AI. Ali, a strong advocate for open research and democratizing AI, will share his vision on how open-source AI ecosystems can drive innovation, accelerate breakthroughs, and ensure equitable access to cutting-edge technology.

In this engaging conversation, we’ll discuss efficiency-driven architectures like mixture of experts (MoE) and multi-head latent attention (MLA), test-time compute strategies, speculative decoding, and the balance between scalability and responsible AI development. We’ll also dive into the role of multi-modal AI, the challenges of proprietary versus open models, and how the AI community can foster transparency and collaboration.
