/ About this event
**SF Tech Week · San Francisco**
As AI systems become more capable, an interesting question is emerging: **what does it actually mean to own the intelligence?**
Is it the model? Your data? The agent’s experience? The feedback loop? The ability for a system to learn, adapt, and improve itself?
**Own the Intelligence** is an evening for developers, researchers, founders, and AI leaders building at this frontier — with short technical perspectives, an open mic for builders, and a first look at where we're taking the idea next.
### 🎙️ Builder Open Mic
**5 builders. 5 minutes each. No pitches.**
Share one thing worth putting in front of the room — a strong opinion, an experiment, a failure, an unexpected result, or something you learned while building agents, RL systems, post-training pipelines, evals, or self-improving AI.
Have something to say? **Apply for one of the five open-mic spots when you RSVP.**
### ⚡ Surprise Launch
We'll close the programmed part of the evening with a **10-minute first look at where “Own the Intelligence” is headed** — and something new we've been working on.
We're keeping the details under wraps until the night.
### 🍻 Then, we hang out.
Most of the evening is intentionally left open for food, drinks, and conversations with other people building AI systems.
No day-long conference. No endless panels. No sales pitches.
**A room full of builders, a mic, some interesting ideas — and something new.**
### Who should join
AI/ML engineers, researchers, agent builders, technical founders, engineering & AI leaders, and anyone actively thinking about how AI systems can learn and improve.
**Hosted by Future AGI during SF Tech Week.**
