AI INTERSECT

Where AI Meets the Real World

October 14 | Day One Partners, 550 Rose Ave, Venice

AI is moving quickly from something we experiment with to something that is becoming embedded in how we live and work.

But what is actually changing?

AI INTERSECT brings together founders, executives and operators from very different worlds to explore how AI is intersecting with the parts of life and business that matter most.

No deep dive into the latest model release. No generic predictions about the future of AI.

Instead, two conversations about what is happening right now, where AI is creating real change, and where the hype still runs ahead of reality.

PANEL 1: AI INTERSECTS WITH LIFE

AI is starting to influence some of the most personal parts of our lives.

How we manage our health. How we discover music and entertainment. How we date and form relationships. How we think about wellness, performance and even our own time and attention.

This conversation brings together perspectives from healthtech and longevity, music and sports technology, dating and wellness to explore how AI is changing everyday life, and what that means for us as humans.

Panelists

* Prominent Healthtech & Longevity Founder, with experience across biohacking, supplements and therapeutics * Music, Sports & Dating Technology Expert, former ESPN technology leader and founder of a music-driven dating app * Consultant-Turned-Wellness Coach, focused on meditation, yoga and human performance

Moderator: David Lindeque, Founder & CPO, Orbit Partner. Former Healthtech, Fintech and Telco executive

PANEL 2: AI INTERSECTS WITH BUSINESS

Almost every leadership team is now asking the same question: what are we doing about AI?

The harder question is what comes next.

Where is AI actually creating measurable value? How will it change the way companies are organized? What happens to jobs, talent and culture? And which companies will turn AI investment into a genuine competitive advantage?

This conversation brings together leaders from management consulting, media and entertainment, people and culture, and the future of work to explore the gap between AI ambition and actual business impact.

Panelists

* Managing Partner, Prominent Management Consultancy, Technology & Telco specialist and technology podcast host * People & Culture Leader, Prominent Media & Entertainment Company, formerly Spotify and Airtable * Founder & CEO, Flexible Resourcing / Gig Economy Firm, formerly PwC

Moderator: Tim Mitchell, Strategic Program Director, Zendesk. Former Deloitte and Cadena

THE IDEA

AI has become almost impossible to separate from the rest of the world.

It is intersecting with our health, our relationships, our culture, our careers and the way companies operate.

AI INTERSECT is a conversation about those intersections.

Two panels. Six perspectives. One question:

What does AI actually change when it meets the real world?
