DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is no longer just a software story. Beh
 ind every large language model and every AI-powered breakthrough lies a ph
 ysical substrate — and the race to build it is reshaping the semiconduct
 or industry at its core. This panel brings together voices from the lab an
 d the industry floor to examine the challenge at the heart of the AI era. 
 How has explosive AI demand rewritten what chips need to do — and what i
 t takes to make them? What separates an AI accelerator from everything tha
 t came before it? And what does it mean for manufacturing\, supply chains\
 , and global competition when demand outpaces the industry's ability to ke
 ep up?\n\nFrom thin film deposition and nanofabrication to fab operations\
 , equipment markets\, and national semiconductor strategy\, our panelists 
 bring rare depth to questions that will define the next decade of technolo
 gy. This is not a conversation about chips in the abstract — it is a con
 versation about the physical foundations of the AI future\, and the very r
 eal challenges of building them at scale.\n\nSpeaker(s): Robert Quinn\n\nA
