Thank you for joining us at the AI Trailblazers SXSW Dinner

Dear Friends,

Thank you for joining us at the AI Trailblazers SXSW Dinner in Austin, Texas. This event marked our second gathering following our inaugural launch at CES, and we were thrilled to share an evening of engaging programming with you.

The discussions, highlighted by contributions from leaders such as Zach Seward of The New York Times, reinforced a pivotal insight: while AI propels innovation and efficiency forward, it's our human essence—our creativity, empathy, and moral compass—that carves out a future worth pursuing, both on an individual and collective level.

Our AI Showdown, featuring 5 finalists from a diverse group of over 100 startups, showcased the immense potential for AI to be guided by human leadership. The winners Atomo Health (1st place), TheWordsmith.ai (2nd place) and Rembrand (3rd place) inspired us to think about the myriad ways in which AI could enrich human experiences.

We'd like to express our gratitude to The New York Times for their continued partnership, making this evening unforgettable. Moreover, the event wouldn't have been what it was without our collaboration with UserTesting, who are in the business of ensuring human insights remain central to every decision in the AI Era.

And finally, as we determine our next steps, we’d love to get your direct feedback on the evening, what worked, what didn’t and what you’d like to see next. If you have a few minutes, please respond to this quick 8 question survey. It’ll make AI Trailblazers stronger and better equipped to serve your needs better.

Best wishes,

Amit, Greg & Shiv
