The Starting Line: Why AI's Biggest Breakthroughs Are Still Ahead

distance

calendar_today
June 17

1:15 PM - 1:40 PM - CET

There's a prevailing narrative that AI’s trajectory is set — the techniques are proven, the finish line in sight. Peter DeSantis joins Nick Thompson to challenge that framing. We’re at the beginning of a massive transformation, not the end of a short one, and the breakthroughs that will define AI haven't happened yet. This session digs into what it will actually take to get there: the silicon, the systems, and the economics needed to make AI both capable and affordable enough to unlock applications and businesses that don’t yet exist today. And why the people who see this moment as a starting line will be the ones who shape what comes next.
