Event description

As organisations navigate increasing costs, energy use, and rising expectations around return on investment, the focus is shifting toward smarter, leaner approaches that deliver impact without exceeding budgets or compromising sustainability commitments. Join us for an essential discussion on Frugal AI – the movement toward resource-efficient AI that is reshaping how businesses develop and deploy intelligent systems.

This panel brings together industry leaders, researchers, and practitioners to explore how constraint-aware AI design can unlock new avenues for innovation and tackle three pressing challenges: economic viability, environmental responsibility, and technological accessibility.

Our expert panel will unpack pratical, real-world tactics such as:

  • AI model efficiency and how to fine tune in ways that slash resource usage
  • System-level optimisation and how scheduling and scaling based on demand and use can best match compute resources to company needs
  • Business model innovation and how to reduce upfront capital costs.

Whether you are a C-level executive weighing AI investments, a technology leader rolling out AI solutions, or a policy professional shaping sustainable innovation, this session offers actionable insights into balancing performance with eco-responsibility.

The format includes a dedicated Q&A segment to explore your specific questions on implementing efficient AI.
