All Day
Presenter: Yangqing Jia
The NSF AI Institute for Edge Computing (Athena) is pleased to present a Distinguished Seminar by Yangqing Jia, titled “What does AI mean for cloud infrastructure?” on Monday, February 26, 2024, from 10:05 -11:20am EST via Zoom https://duke.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEkdO6pqDksHdH6CtrOP4WuSxnU23mNvITe and in-person at Duke University Wilkinson building Room 132.
Abstract: In this talk, I will briefly explore how cloud infrastructure has evolved over the years, and at the same time how AI has changed the way we think about building scalable infrastructure. I will mostly use real-world examples instead of slides to exhibit the two main deciding factors: supply chain and software deployment - that largely determines how enterprises think of their IT and AI strategy.
