Rui Oliveira, lecture at the Informatics Department at the School of Engineering and Director of INESC TEC, attended the second edition of the AI Compute Summit, held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The event, organised by The Economist, brought together business leaders, researchers and policymakers to discuss the future of computing in the service of artificial intelligence (AI).

Rui Oliveira was invited to join the panel discussion “People, Power and Performance”, one of the central sessions of the programme, dedicated to the human, energy and computational performance implications shaping the growing adoption of large-scale AI systems.

“The debate around AI computing is no longer purely technical — it involves choices about people, resources and priorities”, says Rui Oliveira.

His participation helped position the School of Engineering of UMinho and INESC TEC at the heart of the international debate on these topics, reinforcing the institution’s global visibility and its active role in the research and innovation ecosystem in computing and artificial intelligence.
