Opening Keynote | Surupa Biswas from Meta

Infrastructure development is undergoing a paradigm shift as AI transitions from theoretical potential to practical, agentic execution. The industry is moving from building for AI to building with AI, necessitating unprecedented innovation across physical and software layers. Key challenges include managing supply chain constraints for power and silicon, adopting hybrid cloud strategies to secure capacity, and implementing robust safety guardrails for autonomous agents. Meta’s approach involves abstracting heterogeneous compute resources through shared management layers and developing tools like Meta CLI and Infrastructure as Code to enable safe agentic operations. As AI agents increasingly handle complex tasks—from coding to system maintenance—the focus shifts toward creating self-improving, scalable environments that allow researchers and engineers to prototype and deploy solutions rapidly, ultimately driving exponential progress across scientific and technical domains.
