AI Infrastructure and Energy to Be Discussed at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026
Executives from Ambrosia Energy and Bloom Energy will address the physical infrastructure and energy challenges behind AI growth.
A session to be held as part of TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will address the physical infrastructure and energy requirements encountered in scaling artificial intelligence technologies.
The Physical Infrastructure Need of Artificial Intelligence
Although artificial intelligence is developed in the software field, scaling this technology is turning into real-world physical challenges today. Every newly developed model, tool, and application needs a place to run and an infrastructure to connect them.
Gathering on the Intelligent Systems Stage
At the TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 event, Ambrosia Energy CEO Ben Longmier and Bloom Energy Senior Vice President Bill Thayer will come together on the Intelligent Systems Stage.
New Business Opportunities and Constraints
This session will examine whether current constraints create lasting business opportunities, which new categories are beginning to emerge, and what entrepreneurs can build as artificial intelligence moves into the physical world.
Energy and Data Center Solutions
While the majority of artificial intelligence conversations focus on models, chips, and applications, scaling the system relies on an expanding physical stack that includes power generation, grid connections, data centers, cooling systems, and electrical equipment.
Event Details and Ticket Information
At the session to be held at Moscone West, what these pressures mean for entrepreneurs, investors, and companies will be evaluated. It has been announced that event ticket prices will increase at the door on October 13.
