During this 2-day event, our focus was on two areas of rapid innovation underpinning fundamental infrastructure for navigating the digital-physical commons: AI and the Open Web.
Themes we explored included:
-
Pioneering experiments in new funding mechanisms for public goods
-
Platforming successful model methodologies leveraging open source technologies and artificial intelligence with scaling potential
-
Understanding the role of AI and open source in funding, building and supporting public goods – and as public goods themselves
-
Frameworks for incubation and methods of support for high-potential innovation
-
Explorations of feedback loops to optimize impact evaluation
We iterated on our signature format...
bringing together builders, funders, and researchers to spotlight the latest research and innovations in open source technology and AI as applied to digital public goods and funding infrastructure.
We presented a mix of inspirational talks, workshops, networking corners, as well as provided a space for intimate conversations with thought-leaders.
