ANTICIPATE AND SHAPE FUTURE DISRUPTIONS IN TECHNOLOGY
To prepare the semiconductor industry for the next wave of technology disruptions and anticipate their impact on the global electronics ecosystem, SEMI is establishing a series of Think Tanks that bring together global thought leaders and visionaries to collectively envision the future – 2040 and beyond. The first of these Think Tanks is the SEMI Future of Computing Think Tank, a community under the SEMI Smart Data-AI initiative, which was established to explore the profound changes in computing architectures and applications, and the collective steps the semiconductor industry must take to support and take advantage of these advancements.
SEMI FUTURE OF COMPUTING
The Future of Computing Think Tank through events, publications and development of strategic industry blueprints aims to examine the breakthroughs and challenges in the evolving computing systems, the growing role of artificial intelligence, the emergence of quantum computing, and the ever-expanding data economy. This dialog will contribute to defining the future, drive new innovations and shape the direction of the semiconductor industry for decades to come.
MISSION
To unite industry leaders, academia, and government stakeholders to collaboratively address the critical challenges in the evolution of computing. We aim to identify opportunities and solutions for creating cost-effective, sustainable, and innovative computing technologies.
VISION
To anticipate and guide the development and adoption of innovative computing technologies that foster knowledge-based economies and transform how we live and work through industry-wide collaborative efforts.
Approach
The SEMI Future of Computing Think Tank will take a collaborative and holistic approach to developing strategic blueprints that identify and tackle the opportunities and challenges in advancing the future of computing. The process we envision over the next two years includes:
Who Should Participate
- Industry experts in semiconductors, computing, and emerging technologies
- Government agencies involved in technology policy and regulation
- Academic leaders and researchers in computing and related fields
- Professionals from IT, cloud, and edge computing sectors
- Thought leaders in AI, quantum computing, and data management
- Innovators focused on sustainable and scalable computing solutions
AT THE INTERSECTION OF CHANGEMAKERS
