David Gurle, Co-Founder & CEO of Antimatter, joins Margot Bletterie to explore why the future of AI will be shaped by energy, data sovereignty, and infrastructure rather than model performance alone.
Drawing on decades of experience building internet infrastructure, Microsoft collaboration technologies, Skype for Business, Symphony, HiveNet and PolyCloud, David explains why AI’s biggest constraints are shifting from algorithms to compute, electricity, and control over data. He also shares how Antimatter aims to make AI more accessible through distributed infrastructure built around unused energy resources.
