From the first edition
Bringing the people building and governing AI together with the people shaping how the world understands it.
AI is no longer a story about the distant future. It is the story of the next few years, and most people are hearing it secondhand.
The people closest to the technology, researchers, safety teams, and policy experts, can see what's coming. The people who shape the cultural layer, creators, filmmakers, journalists, and writers, decide how everyone else comes to understand it: what they fear, what they ignore, and what they ask of their leaders. These two worlds rarely sit in the same room.
The Conversation is a media festival and convening built to close that gap. Over two days we put insiders and storytellers in direct conversation, to build the relationships, shared language, and trust needed to get this story right while it still matters.
Frontier researchers, safety and alignment teams, policy and governance experts, funders.
Creators, filmmakers, journalists, writers, and the audiences of millions they reach.
Part festival, part working convening. Every format is built around one idea: the people who understand AI best and the people who reach the public best should be making things together.
Films, documentaries, and shorts about the future we're heading into, each followed by a conversation with the filmmakers and researchers behind the questions.
Creators showcase their work, and the tools and companies they're building, to help millions of people make sense of AI.
Researchers and policy experts walk journalists through what is actually happening inside AI, and what to watch for next.
Screenwriters, showrunners, and novelists sit down with researchers to tell truer, sharper stories about AI.
Invite-only sessions where researchers, policymakers, funders, and communicators work through what the public most needs to understand, and who is best placed to tell it.
