From NVIDIA's AI factories to the EU AI Act's command-center approach, this panel maps the infrastructure layer that makes enterprise AI possible — or impossible. An NVIDIA public sector lead, a Microsoft Asia architect, a Visium CEO, and the architect of Europe's AI regulation debate what it really takes to move from isolated pilots to scalable, interoperable AI systems.
WHAT THIS PANEL COVERS
- NVIDIA frames AI factories as the industrial revolution's new foundational asset — importing electricity and data, exporting intelligence — with sovereignty as a core design principle
- The biggest enterprise mistake is focusing on isolated point solutions instead of building shared, modular platforms that make AI and data reusable across the organization
- The EU AI Act was designed as a governance 'command center' but expanded into legal uncertainty — even its architect admits he does not fully understand all parts of the regulation
- Platform interoperability is the critical enabler: protocols like MCP and A2A agent standards are the 'electricity and water systems' connecting AI's isolated buildings into a functioning city
- Leadership must lead by example — being the first to use AI, ask for AI-driven insights, and invest in AI literacy — or the organization will treat AI as something imposed rather than embraced
