      Open source AI has transformed access to models, datasets, and software, yet a critical dependency remains: the hardware powering AI is still largely proprietary. As nations, researchers, startups, and communities seek to build sovereign, trustworthy, and affordable AI ecosystems, access to open and transparent computing infrastructure is becoming a strategic necessity. This Frontier Stage discussion brings together leaders from academia, research, and the open hardware movement to explore the emerging landscape of open source AI hardware, the quest for open GPUs, and the opportunities these technologies create for innovation, digital inclusion, and sustainable AI development worldwide. From technical breakthroughs to policy implications, the session will examine what it will take to build a truly open AI stack from silicon to services.
