Applied Materials Puts Spotlight on Sustainable AI at the 50th Annual SEMICON West
July 07 2020 - 10:00AM
Big Data and AI are poised to transform virtually every industry.
Fueled by data from tens of billions of edge devices and emerging
5G networks, cloud computing and AI have the potential to generate
new insights that can help address climate change and improve
people’s lives.
At the same time, there are questions about the environmental
impact of digitalization, particularly the energy consumed by data
centers and the computing resources needed to train powerful AI
models. Without improvements in technology, will Big Data and AI
add to the world’s challenges? Or can digitalization bend the
climate curve? What actions can the semiconductor and computing
industry take to improve efficiency and consume fewer
resources?
Addressing these issues and more will be keynotes and a panel
presented by Applied Materials at the 50th annual SEMICON West on
July 21, which will be held in a virtual format this year.
9:15 – 9:45 am PT: The Honorable Al Gore in
conversation with Heather Clancy, editorial
director of GreenBiz.com. Mr. Gore will share his thoughts on the
global challenges our industry can help solve by driving advances
in the latest cutting-edge technologies, especially by increasing
the energy efficiency of semiconductors and computing.
9:45 – 10:15 am PT: Keynote by Applied Materials President and
CEO, Gary Dickerson, who will highlight the need
for sustainable AI and discuss actions that can be taken by
companies throughout the semiconductor industry, both individually
and collectively, to enable a better future.
