/ About this event
The most sophisticated homeowners in Silicon Valley are starting to manage their homes the way they manage everything else - with AI. Your home is the largest asset most families own, and the least systematically managed. Run as an asset, it looks different: value preservation, maintenance and improvement spending, insurability, and readiness for a risk event all become measurable and predictable. And AI changes what's possible: what once required a full-time estate manager - overseeing every system, coordinating vendors, tracking renovation spend, keeping the property insurable and documented - an AI agent that knows your home can now do at a level of detail no human keeps in their head. Most owners have never seen any of this for their own house.
Three speakers, three angles:
Ilya Strebulaev, Stanford GSB, the David S. Lobel Professor of Private Equity and author of the bestselling The Venture Mindset, on the home as an unmanaged position. He has spent two decades studying how the world's best investors make decisions - and why the same people stop applying any of it to their largest, most concentrated position.
Dave Selinger, founder and CEO of Deep Sentinel, who has been building AI into consumer products since before most of the industry called it AI - from recommendation systems at Amazon and RichRelevance, to co-founding Redfin, to Deep Sentinel, where AI predicts and interrupts crime rather than documenting it. His angle: where consumer AI in home and asset management goes next.
David Yang, Ph.D., a Silicon Valley AI pioneer and founder of 13 companies including ABBYY and Newo.ai - whose voice AI platform runs more than 50,000 agents serving businesses in 90 languages worldwide - on what happens when you actually do it: the same agents that run his companies now run the most AI-enabled home in Silicon Valley. Expect a live demo - you may find yourself talking to one of his agents.
