AI Is a Five-Layer Cake: AI Factories and Tokenomics

AI is one of the most powerful forces shaping the world today. But to understand where it is heading, we need to understand what AI really is.

It is not a clever app or a single model. AI is becoming essential infrastructure, like electricity and the internet.

At Aixia Innovation Day 2026, Robby van Roosmalen, AI Factory Sales Manager EMEA at NVIDIA, will take the stage to explore AI Factories, Tokenomics and NVIDIA’s view of AI as a five-layer cake.

AI runs on real hardware, real energy and real economics. It takes raw materials and converts them into intelligence at scale. Behind every model and every generated token sits an infrastructure designed to produce that intelligence.

And this shift is happening fast.

Every company will use it. Every country will build it.

In his session, Robby will reason from first principles and look at what has fundamentally changed in computing, how the different layers of AI come together and why AI Factories are becoming the infrastructure behind the next era of innovation.
