AI adoption is growing, but cloud-based one-size-fits-all models are hitting limits — high costs, privacy concerns, environmental damage, & latency issues. This session will explore why the next generation of AI will be specialized, expert, & local. Panelists will unpack how custom models, trained on proprietary data and deployed closer to the user, can deliver improved performance, privacy, & scalability with a more sustainable infrastructure. They'll share how this approach is reshaping businesses and privacy expectations — and what it takes to make it widespread.
