Keynote: Privacy at the Hardware Level: Why the Stack Has to Change Before the Rules Can - Brittany Kaiser, CEO, Alpha Compute Regulation follows architecture. Until now, data privacy has been a policy question. Confidential computing makes it a hardware guarantee. Brittany Kaiser, CEO of Alpha Compute, explores how sovereign AI infrastructure, enforced at the silicon level, changes the accountability equation for enterprises and nation-states alike. She draws on Alpha Compute’s work with institutions running sensitive workloads inside sealed, verifiable enclaves, and makes the case that the agentic AI era demands a new foundation, not a patch on the old one.
