A clear pathway toward high-performance AI systems that are sustainable, compact, and ready to meet future demands was outlined by Prof Baker Mohammad, Chair, Computer and Information Engineering Department, Khalifa University, at the IntegrateX Summit 2025, an event that brought together global technology leaders, innovators, and policymakers to shape the future of digital infrastructure.
Khalifa University was the ‘Knowledge Partner’ of IntegrateX Summit 2025, which served as a premier platform for collaboration across critical sectors such as semiconductors, data centers, and system integration. The summit was supported by the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, Mubadala, and G42.
Prof. Mohammad delivered a focused and forward-looking session titled ‘AI Acceleration Without the Heat: Memory-Centric and Neuromorphic Approaches’. He offered his insights into innovative strategies to address the energy and thermal limitations of conventional AI systems, emphasizing the potential of memory-centric architectures and neuromorphic computing to enable faster, more efficient, and scalable AI acceleration. He delved into topics including the design principles behind low-power VLSI systems, development of hardware accelerators, and the potential of emerging memory technologies.
IntegrateX Summit 2025 featured more than 60 exhibitors and attracted over 1,000 professionals, including C-level executives, engineers, and IT specialists. With more than 30 sessions and 10 panel discussions, participants explored cutting-edge topics like AI-powered processors, sustainable data centers, cloud computing, and industrial IoT.
