**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.** This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.
