INEMI Smart Manufacturing Tech Topic Series
AI Infrastructure Technology: Driving Forces, Challenges & Key Directions
April 7, 2026 | 10:00am – 11:00am EDT
AI infrastructure is scaling at a pace the industry has never seen. As generative AI models grow larger and more complex, the demands on compute, memory, packaging, and global supply chains are accelerating just as quickly. To help our community navigate this rapidly evolving landscape, INEMI is hosting a timely and insight-rich webinar: AI Infrastructure Technology Driving Forces, Challenges & Key Directions, presented by Jung H. Yoon, PhD, Distinguished Engineer & CTO, Supplier Technology & Quality, IBM Supply Chain.
In this session, Dr. Yoon will break down the major technology forces driving AI infrastructure growth, the challenges emerging across advanced packaging and semiconductor supply chains, and the strategic directions the industry must take to support future AI workloads. With more than 30 years of experience in semiconductor R&D, memory technologies, and device reliability, he brings a uniquely deep and practical perspective to this critical topic.
