The Memory Wall in AI - A Crisis we must solve
The evolution of AI has largely been shaped by advancements in compute power. However, an equally critical factor—memory—has emerged as a defining bottleneck for the next generation of AI infrastructure. While GPUs and TPUs have seen exponential improvements in FLOPS, memory bandwidth and capacity have struggled to keep pace. Today, training and inference at scale are constrained as much by memory limitations as by compute. The financial implications are staggering: High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) now costs nearly as much as compute, and memory bandwidth is one of the leading constraints in large-scale AI deployments. The infrastructure of tomorrow must be designed with memory as a first-class consideration. This keynote explores the increasing role of memory in AI workloads, real-world examples of memory bottlenecks, and strategies for designing AI infrastructure that balances compute and memory effectively.

Cybersecurity at the Edge: why should we care about, and why now!
The edge cloud, as natural evolution of cloud computing, is becoming a hybrid multi-cloud environment, federating communication and computing assets from operators, service providers and hyperscalers. Also emerging edge AI workloads and massive usage of data are imposing many challenges in terms of security and compliance with regulations, which are business critical. Furthermore, Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) scenarios are characterized by a complex multi-vendor, multi-supplier, multi-set of equipment including both HW and SW devices. Given this overall level of system heterogeneity, areas of security, trust, and privacy are key topics for the edge environments. This talk will provide a must-have overview on edge computing cybersecurity, with updates also on standards, compliance and best practices from the industry.

Piccoli budget, grandi risultati. Come l'AI potrebbe cambiare il gioco per gli sport di nicchia
In un contesto sportivo sempre più competitivo e dominato dai grandi investimenti, l'Intelligenza Artificiale rappresenta una risorsa chiave per le realtà minori, spesso penalizzate da limitate risorse economiche e scarsa visibilità. Lo speech offrirà una panoramica generale sull'applicazione dell'AI nello sport, approfondendo poi il tema specifico di come tecnologie avanzate, ora accessibili anche con piccoli budget, possano colmare il gap tra sport popolari e quelli di nicchia. Dal marketing allo scouting, dalla promozione alla performance sportiva, l'AI consente oggi a club e federazioni di nicchia di raggiungere risultati impensabili fino a pochi anni fa. Attraverso esempi concreti e scenari futuri, verranno illustrate opportunità, strategie e criticità che le tecnologie AI offrono per favorire una crescita esponenziale e sostenibile negli sport meno conosciuti, trasformando piccole realtà sportive in protagonisti di rilievo.

Il mio fornitore? E’ bravo, ma ha 6 in Cybercondotta
Gli attachi cibernetici arrivano in gran parte dalla supply chain. Indipendentemente dal fatto che siate piccoli o grandi fornitori, per lavorare nelle medie/grandi imprese nazionali ed estere, la selezione del fornitore passa anche da una valutazione del rischio cyber, sempre più spinta da normative europee che richiedono la misurazione e verifica della resilienza cyber della terze parti. Ma non finisce qui: il rating finanziario sarà sempre più influenzato dal rating Cyber. L'intervento ha l'obiettivo di illustrare nel dettaglio lo scenario appena descritto e di spiegare come avvengono questi controlli che non saranno una tantum ma un "continuous monitoring" per tutta la durata dei contratti.

Modelli micro, vantaggi macro. Cosa c'è oltre gli LLM?
Oggi, parlare di intelligenza artificiale sembra significare automaticamente parlare di LLM multimodali. Complici l’hype e una certa inesperienza diffusa, questi modelli ultra-potenti vengono spesso impiegati anche per task semplici, dove soluzioni molto più leggere (ed efficienti) sarebbero più che sufficienti. In questo intervento analizzeremo insieme come integrare l’AI a livello di prodotto in modo pragmatico, valutando quando ha senso scomodare un LLM e quando, invece, modelli più piccoli portano vantaggi più grandi in termini di costi, prestazioni e sostenibilità tecnica.

Cloudicante: Il sogno del cloud sta zoppicando su costi e sicurezza
Negli ultimi anni il cloud ha registrato una crescita significativa, spingendo sempre più aziende a migrare i propri servizi. Tuttavia, molte di queste adottano un approccio "lift & shift", replicando l’on-prem nel cloud senza una vera ottimizzazione. Questo porta a infrastrutture poco efficienti, costi elevati e un utilizzo limitato delle tecnologie cloud-native. Un altro aspetto critico è la sicurezza: spesso si considera il cloud come un’entità separata, trascurando il modello di responsabilità condivisa definito dai provider. La scarsa competenza nel settore porta a posture di security inadeguate, aumentando i rischi per dati e applicazioni aziendali. Con questo intervento esploreremo gli errori più comuni nelle migrazioni cloud, il loro impatto su costi e sicurezza e le best practice per una transizione efficace, massimizzando i benefici di un’infrastruttura cloud moderna e sicura.

Driving Intelligence: a benchmark for AGI
In this talk, I undertake a dive into two ostensibly unrelated—and potentially profoundly consequential—technological developments of the twenty-first century: Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AVs are designed to navigate complex real-world environments without human intervention, while AGI represents a form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) endowed with human-level cognitive abilities. I do this specifically because I advocate that progress towards full vehicular autonomy stands as a novel and precise benchmark of humanity’s progress towards AGI.

The hidden infrastructure of effective AI implementations
We've moved past the era of simple prompts and into the age of sophisticated AI integration. Behind every successful AI system lies an invisible infrastructure of decisions that most organizations discover too late. This session maps the terrain beneath the surface - from the technical components to the interconnected web of data governance, integration architecture, and adoption dynamics that determine whether AI creates lasting value or expensive disappointment. From data preparation approaches that balance quality with speed to governance frameworks that enable rather than constrain, leaders and practitioners will gain practical insights for building AI capabilities that adapt and evolve with organisational needs.
