As AI becomes increasingly adept at simulating reality, from AI generated images, videos, written content, and chat partners, we are left with the questions: how are we going to be able to know what's real or not? How will we know what's true or not? And can AI itself actually help us on this quest to figure out which is which?
How to Attend
Truth & AI is included in the Startupfest ticket. To attend, simply purchase your ticket to Startupfest.
This 'Truth and AI' track at Startupfest will dive into varying startups' approaches to the tricky problem of searching for truth. It has been a pursuit of humanity for ages, but now time is of the essence. Can we make 21st century breakthroughs before becoming all-consumed in an AI-generated matrix? On this day, you'll hear from ambitious companies and nonprofits exploring how we can both defend against and deploy AI capabilities to avoid stumbling over the same mistakes humans have faced by being misled for millennia. From this track, you will walk away with your mind blown by the scope of the problem, a menu of possible solutions, and some take-home ideas to incorporate into your businesses and organizations to prepare for the increasing sophistication of AI.
