SUMMARY:Resilient Science: Sustaining Computation in a Market Optimized fo
 r AI
DESCRIPTION:Marie-Christine Sawley (ICES Foundation), Utz-Uwe Haus (HPE EM
 EA Research Lab), Yu Huang (Huawei), Peter Messmer (Nvidia Inc.), and Matt
 hias Stürmer (Bern University of Applied Sciences)\n\nWhat happens when th
 e world's most powerful computers stop being built for science?<br>Superco
 mputing, once the quiet workhorse of climate models, quantum chemistry, an
 d<br>astrophysics, now fuels a global race for dominance in artificial int
 elligence and data driven<br>industries. The result: a market optimized fo
 r inference speed and low precision arithmetic,<br>not for 64 bit calculat
 ions to understand the physical world. As compute demand explodes, so<br>t
 oo does competition for scarce resources—chips, memory, and even trusted s
 upply chains.<br><br>This shift poses an uncomfortable question for resear
 chers: how much of our digital<br>infrastructure do we truly own or contro
 l? Proprietary architectures and vendor locked<br>ecosystems are eroding t
 he openness that once defined scientific computing. Transparency<br>and re
 producibility—cornerstones of credible science—risk being replaced by depe
 ndency<br>and opacity.<br><br>This panel invites thought leaders from acad
 emia, industry, and policy to explore whether<br>science can remain sovere
 ign in an increasingly commercial, constrained, and contested<br>computati
 onal landscape. What pathways exist for developing sovereign, open, and<br
 >interoperable computing environments that preserve transparency, reproduc
 ibility, and long<br>term access? Can we rebuild trust through open standa
 rds, interoperable platforms, and<br>transparent governance? Or will scien
 tific computing become a tenant in someone else's<br>silicon empire?\n\n
