Creative Innovation + AI Governance

Entrepreneurship in the Emerging AI Economy

Artificial intelligence is undergoing what Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella mere days ago called a tectonic shift – a rapid and fundamental transformation of how we build, deploy, and govern emerging AI platforms, aka Intelligence Engines.

This program will explore the development of the most advanced AI Frontier models pushing the current boundaries of capability and risk today. We will examine how these models are reshaping industries and redefining the roles of entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators. Attendees will leave with a grounded understanding of Mix-of-Experts (MoE) Frontier Models, and the role AI Governance and Human Creativity plays in the Era of Intelligent Engines.
