We’ll take you behind the scenes of BuzzFeed’s AI incubator where we are creating a new medium for content, self-expression, and social connection. We’ll start with big picture ideas you can apply to your business. Then you’ll see live demos of new products and attendees will get special access to the latest from our lab. You’ll see how AI-powered experiences can create shared cultural moments and help people explore the world together, creating a better alternative to filter bubbles and doomscrolling. We are transforming our business with a new approach to AI, and you can join us to think about how to transform your own work to maximize creativity, human connection, and growth.
