Fireside Chat

Main Stage

Most AI stories start in a lab. This one ends in a living room. Brett Taylor has shaped the trajectory of AI at the highest levels — as Chairman of OpenAI and CEO of Sierra, he sits at the crossroads of frontier research and real-world deployment. Fawad Ahmad is on the other side of that equation: scaling AI across one of America's most trusted companies, where the stakes aren't quarterly metrics but the safety of millions of homes and businesses. In this fireside chat, they'll cut through the hype to talk about what enterprise AI adoption actually looks like — the wins, the hard lessons, and what it takes to build systems people genuinely trust.

AI for Healthcare Delivery

Main Stage

Everyone agrees AI will transform healthcare. Far fewer agree on how, or who pays, or what breaks along the way. This panel brings together the people closest to those questions — founders building AI-native clinical infrastructure, operators deploying it at scale, and investors backing what comes next. No hype. Just an honest reckoning with what it actually takes to move the largest and most complex industry in the world.
