QUO VADIS Frontier AI ? Speed, Sovereignty, Scale: trireme or trilemma

​PANELISTS

• ​🇺🇸 Prof. John Horton – MIT Sloan, MIT Generative AI Lab, Anthropic Economic Advisory Council. AI social simulations shaping national strategy.

• ​🖥️ Abhi Ingle – Chief Product & Strategy Officer, SambaNova Systems. Sovereign chip‑to‑model AI in practice.

• ​🌍 Dr. Nikolaos Mavridis – Aramco Digital (UAE), AI & robotics consultant. Building an AI‑driven society in the Middle East.

• ​🇪🇺 Boguslawa (Bogy) Cimoszko Skowronski – MIT & Harvard alumna, Partner at FounderPartners. Europe’s HPC infrastructure and AI investments.

• ​🇨🇭 Dr. Andrei Villarroel – EPFL & MIT alumnus, Founder of Innoverse.ai. Moderator framing the trade‑offs: speed, sovereignty, scale.

​CONTENT

​The most advanced AI‑native infrastructure can’t be optimized for speed of implementation, sovereignty of law, and scale of capability all at once — or can it?

​⚖️ Central question: a coordination challenge (trireme) or an impossible constraint (trilemma)?

​Each panelist brings complementary evidence to illuminate the trade‑offs. You, the audience, will weigh the options and help decide which strategic framework Switzerland should pursue.

​🔥 WHY THIS MATTERS

• ​Budgets are tight — yet trillions are being invested globally in AI infrastructure.

• ​Energy is finite — yet multi‑gigawatt AI campuses are planned to go live by 2028.

• ​Export rules are uncertain — NVIDIA remains the de facto supplier of frontier AI chips.

​The wrong strategy could cost years. The right choice will define Switzerland’s role in AI, shape jobs, industries, and global competitiveness.

​📌 WHAT TO EXPECT

• ​Flash evidence presentations

• ​Strategic framework

• ​Before & after survey
