    Kong CEO Augie Marietti shares enterprise AI gateway data showing that Fortune 500 companies still spend overwhelmingly on frontier labs like OpenAI and Anthropic rather than open-weight models. He explains why true end-to-end enterprise agents are still five years away due to API connectivity bottlenecks, and predicts that companies will increasingly run dozens of internal models like mini neo-labs.

    Canva Head of AI Research Stefano Corazza discusses how generative AI is reshaping creativity, the human-machine interface, and content production. He explains how Canva trains models like Craft to learn design taste, plan layouts before rendering pixels, and turn real-time user edits across 250 million monthly users into reinforcement learning signals, while predicting a 100x drop in video generation costs and brain-computer interfaces within 20 years.

He explains why frontier AI models fail against basic cyber deception, why private behind-the-firewall training data is the real moat over compute, and why attackers rely on machine-speed execution of basic flaws rather than zero-days.

    Google DeepMind research engineer Ege Erdil explains why he is bearish on $1T+ AI lab valuations, comparing frontier labs to low-margin, high-CapEx airlines rather than traditional software monopolies. He also challenges short-timeline forecasts like the AI 2027 intelligence explosion thesis, arguing that AI progress remains bottlenecked by compute and data rather than self-accelerating software research, and estimates full automation of white-collar work is still roughly 20 years away.
