Session

The Past, Present, and Future of AI Infrastructure

Talk

Everyone says they know where AI is going. The truth is, no one really does. So instead of pretending to predict the future, let’s look at the past. This keynote traces the relationship between AI and infrastructure through the people, ideas, and technical shifts that brought us here, from early machine intelligence to the platform shifts that shaped how we build and run systems today. Along the way, we’ll ask what actually changes when AI meets production reality, and look at the tooling, patterns, and open source work platform teams can use right now. What patterns from cloud native history are repeating? What mistakes should we avoid? And what kind of infrastructure will this next era require? The future is not predetermined. Especially in open source, it is something we get to build together.
