Panel: How AI Infrastructure Limits Could Slow the Industry's Growth

A panel at the Imagination in Action Silicon Valley AI Summit examined the infrastructure bottlenecks threatening AI's continued advancement. Moderator Sasha Grinshpun spoke with Vijay Gadepally, Dinesh Maheshwari, and Pravir Malik about the strain on data centers and electrical grids, the current limits of AI models and hardware, and where quantum computing might help.

The discussion covered what happens if AI spending slows, how incremental efficiency gains compound, and whether existing systems can meet escalating demand. The panelists explored both near-term constraints and longer-term solutions to sustain AI development.
