Arm CMO Ami Badani on power, sovereign AI and edge computing at Web Summit Vancouver 2026

At Web Summit Vancouver 2026, Arm CMO Ami Badani joins Rodrigo Liang, co-founder and CEO of SambaNova Systems, and Darrick Horton, CEO of TensorWave, for a discussion moderated by Harold Munro, Editor-in-Chief of the Vancouver Sun. The panel examines the infrastructure required to scale AI, including data centre power constraints, inference efficiency, distributed deployment, sovereign AI, open compute ecosystems, the changing balance between CPUs and GPUs, and the movement of AI workloads from the cloud to the edge. Ami shares Arm’s perspective on power-efficient computing across data centres and devices, the role of CPUs in agentic AI, and the need for a common computing architecture that can support workloads from cloud infrastructure to edge devices.
