Generative AI Unconference
May 10th, 2023
On May 10th, 2023, we hosted our inaugural, invite-only Generative AI “Unconference” in San Francisco. The event convened over eighty of the top (human!) minds in AI, including founders, researchers, and industry experts, for an energizing afternoon of small, group discussions about building successful AI companies.
While we can’t divulge every detail (all sessions were intentionally off the record), read on here for our top takeaways from the day. And scroll down for the full schedule, along with our favorite photos!
