HPE-led panel sessions
Defining Sovereignty in a New Era of AI
Tuesday 21 January, 14:50-15:45 CET
Speakers:
- John Schultz, COO, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
- Dariusz Standerski, Secretary of State, Ministry of Digital Affairs
- Dr Kimberley S. Budil, Laboratory Director, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Moderator:
- Irena Bednarich, Vice President, International Government Affairs, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
There is a special demand for sovereign AI, which has become a prerequisite for protecting national security and strengthening the resilience of the public sector. Sovereign AI also allows nations to make compute and tools accessible for the greater good to innovate and unlock economic growth. In this session, we’ll explore how nations invest in sovereign AI and through a strong public-private collaboration, can scale AI and make it inclusive to create a positive societal impact.
In the Era of AI, the World is only as strong as our Network Connection
Wednesday 22 January, 9:00-9:55 CET
Speaker:
- Phil Mottram, EVP and GM, Networking, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Moderator:
- Kirk Bresniker, HPE Fellow and Chief Architect at Hewlett Packard Labs
As government agencies, private enterprises, and NGOs turn to AI tools to solve their most complex and perplexing challenges, networking technologies, along with related policies and programs they face, will directly impact their ability to succeed. This comes at a time of great convergence including technological, organizational, and even infrastructure collaboration. This session will discuss the possibilities that the era of AI represent – as well as the challenges that come with pursuing these innovative solutions – and demonstrate why reliable, secure, ubiquitous connectivity is crucial not only to advancing AI but our entire society.
Can We Resolve the Paradox of Sustainable AI?
Thursday 23 January, 16:10-17:05 CET
Speakers:
- Monica Batchelder, Chief Sustainability Officer, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
- Ann Dunkin, Former CIO, US Department of Energy
Moderator:
- Kirk Bresniker, HPE Fellow and Chief Architect at Hewlett Packard Labs
The adoption of AI comes with a large energy consumption challenge. The massive compute power required to run AI applications puts a heavy strain on resources and costs and, in the near term, risks exacerbating the climate crisis. Geopolitical factors are also creating energy challenges in certain parts of the world, making it even more difficult to adopt AI. This panel will explore holistic strategies – from reimagining data centers to establishing future-proof initiatives with a collaborative, whole-society approach – to reduce the carbon intensity of AI deployments and build a more sustainable world.

Highlights from AI House Davos 2024
Reimagining your technology strategy for sustainable, responsible and innovative AI Reception
In this intimate fireside chat, leaders and experts who are driving innovative and sustainable AI solutions share their perspectives and discuss how organizations can address these new requirements to unlock transformative outcomes and strengthen their competitive advantage.
Modern Slavery in the Age of AI Reception - AI House Davos 2024
Together, we work to build a robust cross-sector community of senior global leaders, connected by a shared interest to tackle modern slavery in the era of AI and elevate the issue onto the agenda of corporate boards, executive committees, and governments.
Solving for humanity with AI
Government, technology, and policy sector experts discuss lowering the technology barrier of entry and closing the divide to innovate for AI. They explore redefining the AI data center to address sustainability, and tools and awareness that will lead to creating safe, ethical, and trustworthy AI-driven experiences for the greater good.
AI for Science: Solving the world’s scientific challenges
Hewlett Packard Enterprise brings together scientists from leading research organizations, government, and technology to discuss how through the power of public-private partnerships, co-investment, and co-development of accessible and open technologies, AI will drive breakthrough scientific discoveries.
Detecting fragility and engineering robustness in AI
On every lab test your AI was superhuman. But how is it going to fare in the real world of smog, smears, and nation state hackers? Learn about techniques to measure the fragility of today’s AI models and how we can engineer robustness into models and sketch out tomorrow’s AI supply chain where confidence is measurable and provenance is proven.
There isn’t enough sand: The economic realities of scaling AI
AI models are doubling in size every six months and with each gen they are more than doubling the data, energy, capital, and operational costs to create and then use them. We’ll talk why and when today’s AI arms race will force us into hard decisions and how cooperation, coordination and innovation could change the game again.
