AI and the Open-Source Revolution: Zack Kass in Conversation with AMD’s SVP of AI, Vamsi Boppana

What happens when one of the world’s leading applied AI futurists sits down with the executive shaping the future of AI compute? You get a fireside chat that cuts straight through the noise.

In a powerful conversation hosted by AMD Developer Central, Zack Kass joins Vamsi Boppana, SVP of AI at AMD, to explore how open-source ecosystems are redefining the future of artificial intelligence—from the software stack to large-scale deployment.

Together, they unpack:

  • Why open-source is accelerating AI innovation at a historic pace
  • What it really takes to future-proof the AI tech stack
  • Where AI compute and inference are headed next
  • And how developers can prepare for AI at massive scale

The key theme? AI’s next chapter won’t be driven by closed systems—it will be built in the open. As compute power, open models, and developer ecosystems converge, the companies that win won’t just adopt AI… they’ll architect for it.

This fireside chat is a must-watch for leaders, developers, and anyone responsible for building the infrastructure behind AI-powered growth.
